It's How Students Become Leaders

Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and can be a part of your college curriculum. Being a student at Tennessee Technological University and learning to become a leader will make your college experience even richer and prepare you for the future.

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. 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. You will 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. At that point, you will have a wide range of interest areas you can specialize in called branches.

Advanced course students must be US Citizens.  If you have a Green Card and are interested in obtaining citizenship through the military please contact our office.  You can also visit https://www.hrc.army.mil/TAGD/Soldiers%20Guide%20to%20Citizenship for information on how to use the Simultaneous Membership Program option to help you gain your citizenship.
