 Required for all advanced courses.

Basic Course

No military obligation is incurred by enrollment in the basic course, except by Army ROTC Scholarship cadets.

Advanced Course

Enrollment in the advanced AROTC courses is only for students who have signed a service obligation which they will fulfill after graduation with the United States Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard, and they must also attend the five-week Advanced Camp, usually attended during the summer between the junior and senior years. Army ROTC scholarships are available to qualified applicants (both those already enrolled in the AROTC program and those not yet enrolled) through annual competition.

Air Force

In addition to AROTC, students may participate in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) Program through North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro in order to receive a commission as an active duty second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force (USAF). The department offers a four-year program where students enroll at the beginning of their freshman year and continue through award of a bachelor’s degree. The four-year program can be modified for students up until the beginning of the spring semester of a student’s sophomore year.

Freshmen or sophomore students attend a 1-hour class and a 2-hour leadership laboratory each week in addition to two 1-hour physical training sessions. Students who compete favorably for the award of an Enrollment Allocation will attend a four-week summer field training program at Maxwell Air Force Base, AL. During the junior and senior years, students attend 3 hours of class, a 2-hour leadership laboratory, and two 1-hour physical training sessions.
