Transfer Students

Transfer students' paths to joining Army ROTC vary. The Overview of Army ROTC for Transfer Students will provide more information on the four paths transfer students can take to join Army ROTC; our financial incentives; the time commitment after college; etc.

Basic Camp is a 31-day training event designed to introduce Cadets to the Army. The objective is to develop Cadet leadership skills and train them on individual and junior leader tasks to develop and reinforce Warrior Ethos and our Army Values. Basic Camp provides the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in ROTC, and, ultimately, the Army. Basic Camp Cadets graduate the course prepared to lead at the team (3-4 Cadets) and squad (9-13 Cadets) level. Cadets are taught how to conduct troop leading procedures (TLPs) to plan and execute tactical missions at the squad level in a platoon construct/setting. As Cadets gain experience and confidence through the training, they apply lessons learned from the After Action Review (AAR) process.

Scholarships and financial incentives are available to transfer students who participate in the Army ROTC Program.
