Army and Air Force ROTC
Serve the nation as you become a leader.
LEARN AND LEAD
Morris College is home to Reserve Officers’ Training Programs which offer students the opportunity to pursue their college degree while simultaneously training to become commissioned officers in the United States Army or United States Air Force. The programs are supervised by the Division of Education, reflecting its commitment to leadership development and service. They are elective programs, which integrate with students’ existing academic regimen.
