ROTC students serve as reservists during their college years.
Attending a college with an Army, Air Force or Naval ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program can be good for your financial health. ROTC programs offer students opportunities to pay for their education through scholarship money in exchange for a commitment to military service. Once students graduate from college, they automatically qualify for the military branch's officer training program; when that is completed, they are commissioned as an officer.
Auburn University
Auburn University in Alabama offers ROTC programs in conjunction with all major branches of the military. The ROTC program at Auburn, as well as at other schools, requires students to complete additional coursework beyond their college degree requirements.
The programs are offered in two- and four-year formats. Two-year formats are available for graduate students and students who decide to enter the military after the beginning of their junior year of college. Additional required coursework is divided into basic and advanced phases. During the basic coursework phase, students study leadership development and basic military skills. Advanced courses cover officer preparation and development, military justice and advanced leadership theory.
