What Is ROTC?
ROTC stands for Reserve Officer's Training Corps. ROTC is a course one may take, freshman through senior year, which teaches leadership and may lead to a commission in the U.S. Army. Leadership is a quality few people are born with, yet so many have exhibited throughout history. No one has better personified the true art of leadership than the United States Army Officer. In fact, many of our most prominent leaders, people who have helped shape the course of world history, started out as Army officers. Army officers have proven that they are among America's bravest, brightest, and best. But how does the making of an Army officer begin? Quite simplely, with someone who has the desire to be a leader, to be the one responsible. Today, as in the past, there are a lot of bright, young, ambitious students with this desire.
Army ROTC at ERAU can be an exciting, fun, and challenging. In addition to the financial benefits that are received with scholarships, the leadership training will help in finding future jobs.

Freshman and sophomore cadets attend one hour of classroom instruction, plus a one and one-half hour Leadership Lab per week. Junior and senior cadets attend three hours of classroom instruction, plus a one and one-half hour Leadership Lab per week. Additionally, physical fitness training is conducted from one to three times per week. Cadets also participate in one field training exercise (FTX) per semester.
Curriculum/Equipment
The ROTC curriculum is designed to be exiting, educational and flexible enough to meet requirements, while helping to accomplish academic and personal goals.
