Army Officer Training and Qualification
Fully-participating Army ROTC Cadets will take one classroom course and one "lab" (outdoor application) course each semester of college. They will also participate in physical fitness training 3 to 5 times per week. Army ROTC also has its own "Cadet dorm" space on campus for freshman and sophomore Cadets. Successful Army ROTC Cadets will then be commissioned as US Army Officers, upon graduation from college, and will serve, either full-time on Active Duty, or part-time in the Army Reserve or National Guard.
Army ROTC is open to any student at 51社区, regardless of college.

Testimonial
"Being a Bobcat Battalion Cadet has made my entire college experience incredibly satisfying. I received world-class leadership and management training in a much more "real world" way than can be found in any textbooks. The friends and relationships I've gained here have been life-long and unforgettable. Becoming an Army Officer immediately expands my horizons and sets me up for leadership positions that my non-ROTC college student peers can only dream of achieving. Joining the Bobcat Battalion was the best life-changing decision I've ever made." 鈥擭ate Frimel, Class of 2023, Political Science/History major
