There are no prerequisites for basic courses. Non-scholarship students enrolled in Army ROTC do not incur any military commitment during their first two years (basic course) in the program. Army field training exercises and morning physical training are only required for students who want to enroll in the Cadet portion of the program. Students not on an Army ROTC scholarship can take the 1000/2000-level courses as non-obligation electives. All 3000/4000-level courses are intended for advanced ROTC cadets and persons with prior military training. Admission to these courses requires approval of the professor of military science. Army scholarships options are available for undergraduates, graduate and nursing students for those interested in pursuing a career as Commissioned Officer.
