Commissioning Opportunities in all Branches of the Armed Services
The ROTC Departments at ÏãÃÛÓ°ÊÓ offer commissioning opportunities in all branches of the armed services. The branches of the armed services include the Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy. This ROTC program offers opportunities to obtain leadership positions in the armed forces upon graduation. While every cadet at ÏãÃÛÓ°ÊÓ must successfully complete a course in one of four ROTC departments each semester, cadets are not required to work toward a ROTC commission, or to accept a ROTC commission should it be offered. Commissioning in all branches of the armed services is voluntary.
