In Short
The United States Army and Air Force partner with Fitchburg State University to instruct a leadership training program that is designed to train, educate, and develop leaders who will be commissioned as officers in the United States Army or Air Force. The leadership training program is the Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) Program.
- Learn to deal with military and personal responsibility
- Learn and practice skills ranging from basic drill and ceremony to light infantry tactics.
- Develop strong leadership skills, paving the way for a career in the armed forces.
All who are interested in this program are welcome to interview. Enrollment and participation in ROTC is free. ROTC scholarships available for 2, 3, or 4 years. However, ROTC is not for everyone. Enrolling in ROTC means a commitment to academic excellence, a commitment to physical fitness, a commitment to teamwork and selfless service, and a commitment to defend our country.
ROTC is the gateway to future success as an officer and leader in careers such as cyber and network defense, learning to fly and being a leader in army aviation, medical and nursing, military police, military intelligence, learning to lead at ground level in the infantry, cavalry, artillery, and more.
You will learn to be an integral part of something greater than yourself. Learn to Lead, Develop, and Achieve. Make a commitment to Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness; and to defend our Country.
