Program Options

For Undergraduate Students

Four-Year Program : The four-year program is divided into two parts—the Basic Course and the Advanced Course. The Basic Course comprises the first two years of college. Except for scholarship cadets, the Basic Course is voluntary and all students are eligible. After the completion of the Basic Course, students that meet the eligibility requirements and have demonstrated leadership potential contract to the Advanced Course.  The Advanced Course consists of four concurrent semesters of coursework and attendance at the Leader Development and Assessment  Course (LDAC) following the first year in the Advanced Course.

Three-and-a-Half Year Program : Some cadets find out about the program in the middle of their first year of college and decide to apply for a 3-year scholarship or just want to take classes in the spring. In this case, students enroll in the MS I class for the spring semester and then double up on the MS I and II class the next fall semester. Therefore, students complete the Basic Course in three semesters as opposed to four. The rest of the requirements are identical to the four-year program.
 

Three-Year Program : The three-year program is available to students who want to start ROTC as a sophomore. Students complete the Basic Course in one year instead of two by taking both the MS I and II classes at the same time. Students in this program are considered “compression” students. The rest of the requirements are the same as the four-year program.

 

Two-Year Program : The two-year option allows eligible students to contract into the Advanced Course at the time they are academic juniors, seniors or graduate students with four semesters of coursework remaining before graduation.

Criteria for Two-Year program eligibility are as follows:

  • Qualified prior service in the military OR
  • Member of National Guard or Reserve with basic training completed OR
  • Completion of three or more years of  Junior ROTC in high school with PMS approval  OR 
  • Graduate of Army ROTC Leadership Training Course (formerly Basic Camp) AND

54 credits (at least 60 preferred) of college coursework completed towards a bachelor's degree or a graduate student with a B.A. or B.S.

Students in the two-year option also attend  LDAC following the first year of the Advanced Course and complete all required coursework as detailed in the last two years of the four-year program.
