The Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program at the University of Tennessee at Martin breeds excellence. Members of the cadre are professionals who dedicate their time to ensuring the cadets are well trained.
This program develops strong leaders who are prepared to handle situations in a rapidly changing environment. A cadet from this program is well-rounded: an organized leader, a team player, a scholar in academics and in the military arts, a strong communicator, and a technical expert in individual and team collective tasks.
Our extracurricular programs emulate recruitment through championship competitions and excellent teamwork. In short, our program is an excellent place for a student looking to better their life in every aspect.
In Army ROTC, you will gain the confidence and self-discipline necessary to succeed in college. As you progress, you will gain skills and experience in taking charge of activities, setting goals, managing people and resources, and making decisions in demanding circumstances. These courses can be applied as elective credits towards graduation. Participation in these classes is voluntary and requires no military commitment.
Our 4-year program is divided into two parts:
During classes, leadership labs, physical training, and field training exercises, cadets will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups, and conduct missions as a Commissioned Officer in the Army. The leadership training and experiences that cadets gain in ROTC will provide them with a foundation to become Commissioned Army Officers upon graduation.
