Get a Head Start-that Lasts- with Army ROTC

Graduates of Army ROTC enjoy two distinct advantages in the career arena. First, they enter the working world with solid leadership skills and great confidence. Second, they can move right into a guaranteed job with the Army.

As they move through their careers, they have many options available; Army personnel work in virtually the same professions as civilians, as well as additional military-specific occupations.
