ARMY ROTC

STAND OUT FROM THE REST

When you become a part of Army ROTC, you're not just working toward a diploma, but an even brighter future as a leader alongside other motivated Cadets. But make no mistake, you're a student first. You'll have a college schedule like your fellow students, but you'll also receive classroom and field courses that will challenge and excite you. Beyond that, you can take part in events and activities with fellow Cadets that will make your college experience even better.

Combat Water Survival Test (CWST)

Cadet Matthew Pugh prepares to take the plunge off the diving board while blindfolded as part of the CWST training. This is just one of the events for this test which are designed to challenge the cadets and build confidence in the water.

“ The physical fitness training that we do in Army ROTC is challenging and fun at the same time. I have seen great improvement in myself physically in just a short period of time. This has been a tremendous boost to my confidence. ”

See how interesting college can be when you're a part of Army ROTC. You'll be a college student first and foremost, just like the rest of the student body, but there's a key difference: you'll have even more opportunities to succeed.

These opportunities include Field Training Exercises (FTXs) in the spring and fall where Cadets build their teamwork and leadership skills. Cadets also participate in Physical Training (PT) on a regular basis to keep up their strength and endurance.

In addition, each battalion has its own unique calendar of events and activities.
