The ROTC program provides students an opportunity to learn and practice the art of leading people. Recognizing there is a great difference between cognition and volition, the program is structured to give the student practical experience in leading and managing resources. The Army ROTC (AROTC) program enables the student to learn about the military profession and the role it plays in our democratic system of government. Courses enable such knowledge to be acquired on campus without serving in the military forces. Army ROTC electives enrich the student's course of study. Such courses also open up an additional career option, enabling the student to earn a commission and to serve in the Army as an officer, or in the Reserves or National Guard while pursuing a civilian career. Officers serve in a wide variety of career paths, including infantry, human resources, aviation, intelligence, automation, and hospital administration.
The Army's Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) offers training in the principles of leadership. It will teach you to provide others with purpose, direction, and motivation. Those who complete the course of instruction and are otherwise eligible can be commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army. ROTC offers a wide variety of leadership experiences, academic challenges, and unique learning opportunities not available through any other department. Qualified students may receive scholarships, opportunities for study abroad in military exchange programs, adventure training, or other leadership internships and programs. Military Science courses are open to all UW students.
