ROTC Colleges

The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) prepares college students for future service opportunities within the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force or Space Force. Students may join as they enter college as freshmen or later as undergraduates with at least three years of schooling remaining. The reasons for joining can vary but may include professional skills development, an ROTC scholarship, Tuition Assistance (TA) and a desire to serve. When a student completes a school’s ROTC program, they start their military career as an officer.
