What is ROTC?
Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps is a program which enhances an education by providing unique leadership training and management experience.
ROTC is a character builder. It strengthens-
- self-discipline
- courage
- integrity
- physical stamina.
It develops qualities necessary for success in either a military or civilian career.
Earning a college degree and an Army Officer's commission at the same time.
ROTC programs produce more than 70 percent of the newly commissioned lieutenants entering the active Army each year. Many students delay active duty until completion of law, medical or graduate programs. Those students who do want to serve on active duty may be guaranteed Reserve or National Guard duty.
