Hi everyone, I'm interested in joining ROTC in college and I'm wondering how to find out which schools offer it. Is there a list or a website I can visit to find out which colleges have ROTC programs? Any help is appreciated!
Hi there! It's great to see you're interested in joining ROTC in college. To find out which schools offer ROTC programs, I suggest checking out the respective websites of each military branch's ROTC program:
1. Army ROTC: The Army ROTC website has a "College Locator" tool that allows you to search for colleges and universities with Army ROTC programs. You can filter your search by state, academic programs, and other criteria. Visit: https://www.goarmy.com/rotc/find-schools.html
2. Navy ROTC: The Navy ROTC website has a "School Information" page that lists all the colleges and universities with Navy and Marine Corps ROTC programs. The page also provides a map for better location visualization. Visit: https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/school_search.html
3. Air Force ROTC: The Air Force ROTC website offers a "Find a College" tool that lets you look for colleges with Air Force ROTC programs. You can search by state, academic programs, and various filters. Visit: https://www.afrotc.com/colleges/
4. Coast Guard ROTC: The Coast Guard does not offer a traditional ROTC program but does have Coast Guard approved "crosstown" agreements with select colleges for the Navy ROTC. Students participating in the Coast Guard College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI) can take part in these crosstown programs. To learn more about the CSPI and its available options, visit: https://www.gocoastguard.com/active-duty-careers/officer-opportunities/programs/college-student-pre-commissioning-initiative
