MSU's ROTC program offers students opportunities for service and leadership

Morehead State University’s Department of Military Science provides a curriculum qualifying you for a commission as a Second Lieutenant Officer in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. Traditionally a four-year program, Army ROTC consists of basic (100 and 200 level) and advanced (300 and 400 level) courses. MSU’s two-year ROTC program allows juniors, community college students and others who missed ROTC during their first two years at MSU to qualify for a commission.

Army ROTC instruction increases your career opportunities by expanding your experiences while in college, giving you options and potential for either a civilian or military career. In order to obtain commission you must be medically qualified, meet all pre-commissioning requirements (established by the Army) and complete a program of study for a degree (bachelor’s degree or higher).

All ROTC classes at MSU count as elective credit toward graduation. Cadets that receive their commission are awarded a minor in military science.
