The Reserve Officer Training Corps is a college elective that develops Leadership Skills in our students as they prepare for Military Service. Army ROTC offers a commission as a second lieutenant in either the active Army or Reserve Forces in a variety of career fields including Combat Arms (Aviation, Armor, Artillery, Infantry, or Engineers), Combat Support, and Combat Service Support branches. There are two-, three-, and four-year scholarship programs available. Some cadets choose to join the National Guard or the Army Reserve while in Army ROTC, thus qualifying them for the Montgomery GI Bill benefits, in-state tuition (VANG) and other exciting benefits. For more general information about Army ROTC please visit www.armyrotc.com. Virginia Tech is one of the United States' six Senior Military Colleges and one of two such programs at a predominantly civilian university. As a graduate of a Senior Military College, a medically qualified cadet successfully completing all ROTC requirements is virtually assured of obtaining an active duty commission. A few cadets each year earn a reserve forces duty commission. These future lieutenants will serve as a commissioned officer in either the U.S. Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. ARMY ROTC AT VIRGINIA TECH The army ROTC department at Virginia Tech works hand in hand with the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. Membership in the Corps of Cadets is mandatory for participation in ROTC, providing cadets twice the opportunity to develop the leadership skills necessary to be an Army Officer.
