1992-1993 Academic Catalog

Army Reserve Officers Training Corps instruction leading to an appointment as a lieutenant in the United States Army is available to Cedarville College students. All classes and drills are held at Central State University, located approximately four miles form Cedarville. All ROTC courses are transferred as electives and are taken in conjunction with other subjects for the four years of college. The objectives of the Army ROTC program are: 1. To prepare students to serve as commissioned officers in the regular Army, the Army National Guard or the United States Army Reserve. 2. To provide an understanding of the fundamental concepts of military art and science. 3. To provide students with leadership and managerial training, a basic understanding of military professional knowledge, a strong sense of personal integrity, honor, individual responsibility, and an appreciation of the requirements for national security. The standard four-year ROTC program involves two phases: the Basic Course during the first two years and the Advanced Course during the final two years. One can qualify for the advance course by being a veteran, a member of the United States Army Reserve or National Guard, or by attending six weeks of summer training following his/her sophomore year of college. Students enrolled in the Advanced Course earn $100 per month for a maximum for ten school months per year. Two- and three-year merit scholarships, which pay for all tuition, fees, and costs of books and supplies at both colleges, are available. Recipients of these scholarships also receive $100 per month for ten months of the school year each school year the scholarship is in effect. Students interested in pursing a dual civilian/military career should request information about the Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty Scholarships and Reserve Duty options. Special scholarship consideration is given to students accepted to Cedarville College's Nursing Program. Interested individuals should contact the Professor of Military Science, Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio, 45384, phone: (513) 376-ARMY or the Cedarville College Admissions Office. Army ROTC course requirements count as elective credits in the 192 quarter hours required for graduation.
