What is ROTC?

Career: ROTC

ROTC is short for Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, which is a military training program for students who are currently enrolled in a college or university. In exchange for scholarship funds, the candidates agree to a multi-year commission upon completion of college. When ROTC candidates graduate, they are often considered commissioned officers in one of the military service branches. The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps is designed to provide leadership training and military indoctrination, while training candidates to provide valuable high-knowledge skills to the armed forces. JROTC is the version of this program geared towards high school students.
