Alternatives to Enlistment: ROTC Programs

Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is a college program offered at over 1,700 colleges and universities across the United States that prepares young adults to become officers in the U.S. Military. In exchange for a paid education and a guaranteed post-college career, cadets commit to serve in the Military after graduation. Each service branch has its own take on ROTC and universities that offer ROTC may offer it for one, some, or all of the military branches. More information about ROTC is available on todaysmilitary.com/training/rotc or bestcolleges.com/resources/rotc-programs.

ROTC programs are a great way to earn your degree and gain leadership experience without going straight into the service. If you would like to be an officer, many of these schools have officer training programs. However, you must be willing to commit several hours to your school work as well as ROTC commitments, and it can be challenging! There will be scholarships available!
