Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
The Department of Military Science for the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) was established to select and prepare students to serve as officers in the Regular and Reserve components in the United States Army. The curriculum is designed to develop students’ leadership potential as well as improve students' planning, organizational and managerial skills. Army ROTC training is divided into two phases: the first two years constitute the Basic Course; the last two the Advanced Course. The Department offers a four- and two-year scholarship program, both leading to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army.
Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) is offered as either a two- or four-year program. A student who completes the Air Force ROTC program will receive an Air Force commission as a second lieutenant and is guaranteed a position in the active Air Force. AFROTC 4-, 3- and 2-year scholarships are available for eligible applicants. These scholarships pay all tuition, fees and books and a monthly tax-free stipend.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is available through dual enrollment at the University of South Florida. Students who are interested should see a counselor or advisor for further information.
