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.

Our cadets are involved with many activities on campus. One of the benefits of being a part of Gonzaga ROTC is being able to participate on the floor with division I athletes. We have even had cadets who participate on the division I teams. We are all part of a team at Gonzaga University.

“ The ROTC program at Gonzaga is like a family. The program itself is amazing, but it's the people who really make it. From day one, you have people, cadets and cadre, who will do everything they can to help you out physically, academically, and personally. It's a fantastic experience. ”

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.

Being a part of the Bulldog Battalion

Being a part of Gonzaga means you'll be in the company of a diverse group of individuals with broad interests. Individuals who were presidents of their student governments, captains of their varsity sports teams, club presidents, or members of the National Honor Society.

Many Opportunities

The Cadets in our battalion have had numerous opportunities to not only be involved with the school but be involved in international events.  We’ve had cadets volunteer with habitat for humanity, provide assistance after Hurricane Katrina, play with children in orphanages in Ghana, teach children to speak English in China, work with government officials in Indonesia, train with the military in Peru, work with the FBI in Washington DC for a semester and the list continues to grow.
