The ROTC program provides students an opportunity to learn and practice the art of leading people. Recognizing there is a great difference between cognition and volition, the program is structured to give the student practical experience in leading and managing resources. The Army ROTC (AROTC) program enables the student to learn about the military profession and the role it plays in our democratic system of government. Courses enable such knowledge to be acquired on campus without serving in the military forces. Army ROTC electives enrich the student's course of study. Such courses also open up an additional career option, enabling the student to earn a commission and to serve in the Army as an officer, or in the Reserves or National Guard while pursuing a civilian career. Officers serve in a wide variety of career paths, including infantry, human resources, aviation, intelligence, automation, and hospital administration.
