What is MNU ROTC?5609608831_71cea48cae_o_webready

Army ROTC at MNU is an elective class you take in addition to the required college classes of your major. It will give you the knowledge, training and experience that will help you succeed in any environment. In addition to leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition.

Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your Freshman and Sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. If you decide to continue in the ROTC program through your Junior and Senior years, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army upon graduation.

Students who complete a four-week Leadership Training Course (LTC) at Fort Knox, Ky., Veterans, National Guardsmen and Army Reservists receive constructive credit for the first two years of Military Science, and can complete the Military Science program in as few as two years.

Freshman through Senior Military Science courses are offered every semester. After the Junior year, students attend a 6-week Leader Development Assessment Course (LDAC) under the guidance of experienced Army Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers at Ft. Lewis, Washington.
