MISSION
The University Of Oregon Army ROTC aims to recruit, educate, develop, and inspire Senior ROTC Cadets in order to commission officers of character for a lifetime of commitment and service to the nation and the Total Army.
LEADERSHIP THAT LASTS A LIFETIME
Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college classes. It gives you the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. At the University Of Oregon, it is the only set of classes focused on leadership, ethical and moral decision making. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. As a member of Army ROTC, you will also be a member of Oregon’s oldest student organization; the Corps of Cadets which was founded at the time of the University’s founding in 1916. If you choose to commit to ROTC, you will have opportunities to have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army leading Americas finest men and women . At that point, you will have a wide range of interest areas you can specialize; the Army calls these areas “branches”.
-
Enrolling in the Army ROTC Basic Course does NOT involve a commitment of service to the Army unless you have received an Army ROTC Scholarship.
-
It's an experience that you can't get anywhere else, and your leadership skills will be challenged every day. Contact your campus Military Science recruiting department for more specific details on your Army ROTC service commitment.
-
Army ROTC students who receive an Army ROTC scholarship or enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course must agree to complete a period of service with the Army.
-
You can serve full time in the Army for three years (four years for scholarship winners). Selected Cadets may choose to serve part time in the U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard while pursuing a civilian career.
COLLEGE STUDENT TO ARMY OFFICER
ARMY ROTC IS ONE OF THE BEST LEADERSHIP COURSES IN THE COUNTRY AND IS PART OF YOUR COLLEGE CURRICULUM
WHY BECOME AN OFFICER ?
Those who succeed in the Army ROTC program are students who excel and want something more out of the college experience. Generally, these students are scholars who keep their grades up, athletes who are physically strong, and leaders who have an immense desire to learn.
Only men and women of outstanding character and drive will become U.S. Army Officers. Officers are the managers of the Army. They are tasked with making important decisions in stressful situations, and they are entrusted with the safety of the men and women under their command.
Being an Officer in the U.S. Army will not only serve as a point of pride during your U.S. Army service, but it will also be useful to you in your civilian career. Employers place a high value on the discipline and leadership skills that the Army fosters in its Soldiers. Army Officers are often looked to as prime candidates for management roles and executive positions. From leaders of industry to United States presidents, many began their careers as Army Officers.
A CLEAR FUTURE
The U.S. Army and Army Reserve offer training and hands-on experience in hundreds of career paths. From engineering to law, medicine to mathematics, there are few institutions in the world that can match the training and educational services of the Army.
Aside from on-the-job training, the Army has dozens of programs designed to help Soldiers earn a college degree without having to swim through a sea of debt afterwards. The ROTC program for example, allows a young adult to attend college, receive Army training, and a commission as an U.S. Army Officer upon graduation.
There's a reason ROTC Cadets go on to become governors, presidents and CEOs. After Army ROTC, you will have what it takes to balance working with both civilians and enlisted personnel, instilling confidence as an Officer, a leader, a trainer and a mentor.
