Freshmen
For
freshman the way to start is by
enrolling in MILS 101 or 102, "Basic
Army Leadership". This is the basic
ROTC class; it does not require any
military obligation from those
students who choose to enroll. The
great part about this class is that
you get to see if Army ROTC is right
for you. The classes count as
electives in most majors. At the end
of the year, if you are still
interested in becoming a contracted
member of the Army ROTC program, you
can continue to take Basic ROTC
courses until the end of your
sophomore year. (Still, with no
military obligation). If you think
AROTC and the prestige of an Army
Officers Commission is for you,
you
would then follow a sequence of
courses that will take you through
your junior and senior years in the
Advanced Army ROTC program. As a
junior you will be required to
contract with the Army and obligate
to at least 4 years. Your course
work will result in a commission in
the United States Army (Active Duty,
National Guard or Army Reserve).
