Leadership & Excellence
Today, as in the past, many bright, young, ambitious students desire to be leaders. Are you one of them?
Reserve Officer Training Corps: ROTC is a four-year college elective program that trains students to become Air Force, Army, Navy, or Marine officers. Air Force, Army, and Navy ROTC programs offer you a chance to develop skills for success needed in both the military and civilian worlds, such as confidence to lead, motivation, strategic planning, and the ability to make decisions.
Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Program: The Platoon Leaders Class (PLC) offers two entry-level paths that lead to commissioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps to eligible students.
Scholarships: Many of our students enroll with ROTC Scholarships, which may cover all or part of tuition, fees, and books, along with a monthly allowance. Some ROTC Scholarships are awarded to students after completion of their first year. Explore the sections below to learn more about what each branch offers.
