Program Overview

Are you a college student looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to develop leadership skills, serve your country, and earn a commission in the United States Army? If so, the Army ROTC program at UCR is the perfect fit for you.

A Partnership for Success

The Army ROTC program at UCR is part of a nationwide network of ROTC programs that partner with universities across the country. This partnership allows us to offer students a comprehensive and rigorous training program that prepares them for a successful career in the Army.

Leadership, Development, and Mentorship

Our program focuses on developing well-rounded leaders through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on training, and real-world experiences. You'll learn about military history, strategy, and tactics, as well as leadership principles, ethics, and decision-making. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in leadership development activities, such as leading teams, organizing events, and mentoring younger cadets.

A Track Record of Success

The Army ROTC program at UCR has a long history of success in commissioning outstanding officers. All of our contracted students who have completed their degree requirements have received a commission in the US Army. This is a testament to the quality of our program and the dedication of our cadets.

More Than Just a Program

Joining the Army ROTC program is more than just joining a military organization. It's about becoming part of a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to serving their country. You'll make lifelong friends, develop valuable leadership skills, and gain a deep sense of purpose.

Target Audience and Requirements

The program is open to all students at a four-year institution that offers ROTC who meet the academic and physical requirements and want to pursue a career as an executive leader in the Army.

The program involves physical training three times a week, one to two hours of classroom instruction, and a four-hour "Leadership Laboratory" exercise on Thursday afternoons.

Deadlines

The second period is available while the student is on campus. At UCR, students interested in competing for scholarships begin participation in the program and submit an application. Claremont McKenna College receives source funding through Cadet Command. Student applications from all six schools in the program are reviewed and judged against one another based on the availability of funds for each grade level. In 2019, three (two sophomores and one freshman) successfully competed for and were awarded full scholarships that will cover the remainder of their tuition and fees costs at UCR.
