Army ROTC: It's How Students Become Leaders
Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and offers classes you can take as electives within your normal college curriculum. You can take up to the first two years of the program without having to contract to serve in the Army. There are programs for students with two, three or four years of college remaining and there is even a program for graduate students. Of course there are scholarships and other financial programs for every option but the best part of the program is the training and experience that you can’t find anywhere else on campus. Being a student in ROTC will enhance the quality of your education and will better prepare you for whatever career you pursue.
Our Program - The Cyclone Battalion:
We have one of the premier Army ROTC Departments in the country with approximately 100 cadets at three institutions. Our cadets at ISU are part of our "host" program with "partnership" programs at Drake University and Grand View College in Des Moines. The Drake and Grand View cadets attend classes and other ROTC events at Drake and we hold several combined events during each school year. The same cadre instruct at both locations, ISU and Drake, so all cadets receive the same high quality training regardless of the school they attend. The cadets at all three schools are part of what we call "The Cyclone Battalion"
