Army ROTC
Freshman:
The length of your ROTC program from the freshman level will be the four-year program. The Basic Course is taken the first two years without a military commitment, unless a scholarship is accepted, and the Advanced Course is the last two years. Those who have prior service experience with completion of the Basic Combat Training Course and Advanced Individual Training Course do not have to complete the Freshman and Sophomore Courses if they do not choose to do so.
The first two years you will learn classroom courses in Role and origin of the Army, Customs and traditions of the Army, Branches of the Army, Role of the U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard, and Selected military operations and tactical tasks. In the Advanced Course you will take classes in tactics, ethics and professionalism. Between your junior and senior year, you'll spend the summer at the Leadership Development and Assessment Course, also known as LDAC. This is where you might build a bridge across a river or guide your group across difficult terrain, increasing your skills and learning to think quickly under pressure.
