What does ROTC involve?
A – ROTC is a college class that focuses on leadership training, self-confidence improvement and general introduction to the Army. Cadets enroll in one ROTC class per semester which meets twice a week. In addition, cadets participate in a leadership lab once a week, and a physical training program three mornings a week. The ROTC program is divided into two phases. The Basic Course (first two years) studies Army history, organization and structure. The techniques and principles of leadership and management are stressed throughout. The Advanced Course concentrates on tactical operations and military instruction, as well as advanced techniques of management, leadership and command. There are numerous other clubs and activities sponsored by the ROTC Department such as Color Guard, Ranger Challenge, military formals, and various other social activities.
