ROTC
ARMY ROTC
Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is a challenging series of college electives which teach leadership and management skills. The program prepares both men and women for responsibilities as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard upon graduation. As part of the Gold Go Battalion, cadets have a normal college experience as well as participate in ROTC classes, leadership labs, field training, and physical training.
NAVAL ROTC
The NROTC Program was established to develop midshipmen mentally, morally, and physically, to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty and loyalty, and to instill the core values of honor, courage, and commitment. The ultimate goal of NROTC is to commission college graduates as naval or marine officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in naval service, and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government.
