Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is one of the smartest college courses you can take. It offers opportunities and challenges that can put you on the fast track in life. You'll develop the confidence, self-esteem, motivation and leadership skills you'll need regardless of your career plans. The qualities that ROTC training instills will be vital to a productive and rewarding future.

ROTC is an effective course that combines a combination of academics and important hands-on training. You'll be offered physical and mental challenges geared to help you succeed in college and beyond. You will learn teamwork and be given responsibilities like teaching the junior cadets the same skills you have learned.

For its benefits, ROTC only requires a few hours a week. So it won't interfere with your required college curriculum or social life. In fact, you'll find ROTC a great place to form lasting friendships.

THERE IS NO COMMITMENT TO THE ARMY IF YOU JOIN ROTC!
