About the Reserve Officers' Training Corps Program
ROTC at Cedarville Brings Life Change
Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a college-based, military officer commissioning program. It is designed as a college elective that focuses on leadership development, problem-solving, strategic planning, and professional ethics. ROTC training will help you gain the confidence and self-discipline necessary to succeed in college and beyond.
You may try ROTC during your freshman and sophomore years, without being obligated to serve in the military. If you decide you are up to the challenge, you will continue the advanced courses of ROTC while completing your degree.
After completing the ROTC program, you will be commissioned as an officer to serve on active duty or with the Reserves or National Guard.
Cedarville offers ROTC programs for the United States Army and Air Force. The program is open to all majors, but both branches have a high need for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) majors, as well as nursing.
