Army Cedarville University students have the opportunity to be commissioned as officers in the United States Army by successfully completing the Army ROTC program conducted by the Marauder Battalion Army ROTC program hosted at Central State University. Scholarship opportunities are available for qualified students. Classes, labs and physical training are usually conducted at Central State University, located four miles south of Cedarville. All Army ROTC courses are taken through Cedarville University. Cedarville University provides transportation to and from all ROTC activities. The Army ROTC program’s objective is to recruit, train and commission men and women possessing qualities of leadership, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage to become Commissioned Officers in the United States Army. The Army ROTC program is divided into the Basic Course (freshman and sophomore years) and the Advanced Course (junior and senior years). Students must have credit for both the Basic Course and Advanced Course. Credit for the Basic course can be obtained by completing the Basic Course curriculum, prior or current military service, four years of Junior ROTC in High School or by attendance at the Army ROTC Basic Camp conducted at Fort Knox, Kentucky between the student’s sophomore and junior year of college. Students must complete the full academic program of the Advanced Course to be commissioned. There is no military obligation until a student signs a contract with Army ROTC. The Basic Course is open to all students with no military obligation required. Two and three year scholarships are generally available for qualified students already on campus. In certain circumstances four year scholarships may be available for specific majors. To be considered for an on-campus scholarship contact the Recruiting Operations Officer at rotc@centralstate.edu.
