The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a college and university based officer training program for officers in the U.S. military.
Senior Military Colleges organize their students into a Corps of Cadets, you must attend two years of ROTC training. Cadets at an SMC are authorized to take the ROTC program all four years, but taking a commission upon graduation remains optional, unlike other colleges where ROTC cadets are required to sign a contract to take commission before entering their final two years. Graduates are guaranteed active duty assignments if requested with approval of the school. Cadets who receive a ROTC scholarship are required to enter military service upon graduation.
