Curriculum
The specific education you receive in Army ROTC will develop you as
a leader through classroom instruction, leadership labs, and summer
adventure training. These education opportunities are available not
only on-campus but worldwide and allow you to maintain a normal academic
schedule like all college students.
In the classroom, you are required to take one Military Science course
per semester commensurate with your academic standing (Freshman, Sophomore,
Junior, Senior). You will also take a Leadership Lab every semester
and participate in physical training. All in all, your total investment
in time to ROTC is 7 to 8 hours a week with classroom, Lab, and physical
training.
During the summer, there are a multitude of education and training
opportunities not only in the United States but world wide. One of the
mandatory events that you must attend will be the Leadership Development
Assessment Course. This course is attended during the summer between
your Junior and Senior year of college. It takes 5 weeks to complete
and is conducted at Fort Lewis, Washington. This is the only summer
event that is required for you to complete in order to commission as
an Army officer.
As cadre, we understand the importance of your participation in all
aspects of University life. Therefore, we are very flexible in accommodating
our Cadets abilities to participate. In our current, Corps of Cadet
we have students who are in Student Government, Varsity Sports, Fraternity
and Sorority leadership, and multitudes of different Student Organizations.
At the end of this education process, you will have completed the degree
plan of your choice and will have earned your appointment as a 2nd Lieutenant
into the active duty Army, National Guard, or Army Reserves.
Army ROTC is the world’s premier leadership development program.
The skills you develop in ROTC and in your future Army career will benefit
you in every avenue of life. Our vision is to produce leaders who provide
character forged leadership to the nation, local communities, families
and the profession of arms.
