Army Cadets attend a 38 day Advanced Camp at Fort Knox,
Kentucky the summer between their Junior and Senior years, where they are given the opportunity to display their leadership abilities through tactical exercises and compete with Cadets from around the country. Cadets can also compete with the Ranger Challenge team at the regional, national, and international levels. Our Ranger Challenge team most recently took third place at the regional level in 2022 and finished 6th out of 44 teams at the Sandhurst Military Skills Competition, hosted at the United States Military Academy, in 2021. Naval Midshipmen attend at least one four-week summer cruise, which introduces them to four naval communities: life on a cruiser or destroyer; life in a submarine; life for an aviation squadron; and life as a Marine. Our Army ROTC program is one of the largest in the nation (minus the five Senior Military Colleges). It is also one of the best Army ROTC programs in the nation, being selected as the Douglas MacArthur Award winner for the 2019-20 school year.
ROTC 13% of students on our campus train to become Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps officers. The university’s AFROTC produces more pilots, rated officers and Space Force officers than any institution except the Air Force academy. Qualified students may be eligible to receive an ROTC scholarship, which pays for college tuition, an annual book stipend plus a monthly nontaxable allowance. Cadets participate in Leadership Laboratory and two physical training sessions weekly with emphasis placed on teamwork, leadership and planning. Extracurricular events may include rappelling, paintball and trips to Air and Space Force bases.
