The Army Reserve Officer Training Corps offers leadership courses built into your standard college coursework. You can try the program and the Army for the first two years with absolutely no obligation. However, a wide variety of options are available to those interested in becoming an officer in the United States Army. Scholarships and other financial assistance options are available for students with 2, 3, or 4 years left in school. We also offer options for Graduate students.  The best part of the program is the focused leadership development you can utilize in any aspect of your life and whatever career you choose.  As a member of the Maverick Battalion you'll enhance your college experience and better prepare yourself for your future, where ever it takes you.
