Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes and field training, you will learn first-hand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and how to conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, you will earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and become a leader for life.
Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) offers an opportunity to jump start your military career by starting in High School. Since 1916 the JROTC has been preparing young people to take their place of leadership by instilling character and responsibility in JROTC recruits. A high school graduate that has completed two years of JROTC is eligible to enter recruit training as an E-2. A high school graduate with three years of JROTC is eligible to enter recruit training as an E-3.

The Army Reserve Officer Training Course (ROTC) is a program to prepare you to be a leader, in and out of the U.S. Army. You can join the ROTC anytime during college or even get a head start by joining the JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Course) in high school. Enrolling in the Army ROTC Basic Course does NOT involve a commitment of service to the Army unless you have received an Army ROTC scholarship. If you do go Army when you graduate, you will be an Officer in the U.S. Army.
The Army ROTC Green to Gold Programs seek talented young enlisted soldiers who have decided to:
– Leave, or are considering leaving, active duty to attend college to earn baccalaureate degrees and commission as second lieutenants (this is the Green to Gold Scholarship Option Program).
– Remain on active duty to attend college to earn baccalaureate degrees and commission as second lieutenants (this is the Green to Gold Active Duty Option Program).
Quality enlisted soldiers with officer potential who have served at least two years on active duty are allowed to voluntarily participate and enroll in Army ROTC.
