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, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, you will earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard and become a leader for life.
Our mission is to recruit and train the Army leaders of tomorrow. We do this by selecting the best Scholars, Athletes, and Leaders from around the country and honing their skill and potential through challenging, realistic and fun training and academic preparation. The esprit de corps within the battalion brings out the best in each cadet. In the end we produce some of the best young officers in the United States Army who go on to lead soldiers in combat and in peacetime operations. Come join the Cardinal Battalion and Start Strong!
