Overview
Army ROTC at UW-Stevens Point is a two-, three- or four-year program
that ultimately leads to a Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the
United States Army. Army ROTC teaches leadership skills you need to be
successful in your college, military and civilian career. Participants
in our program are also eligible to earn a minor in Miltiary Science.
ROTC also offers valuable scholarships for scholars, athletes and
leaders. Scholarship recipients receive full tuition and fees, a monthly
stipend and other financial benefits throughout the academic year.
The ROTC program is broken into a Basic Course and an Advanced Course.
The Basic Course and includes the electives of Military Science I and
II. These classes are normally taken during the freshman and sophomore
college years and taking them incurs NO military obligation. Completion
of the Basic Course, or prior military experience, makes students
eligible for the Advance Course. Students who wish to continue into the
Advanced Course enroll in Military Science III. Upon completion of the
MS III year, students attend a four-week Leadership Developement &
Assessment Course (LDAC) at Ft. Lewis, Wash. Upon the completion of
college and Military Science IV, graduates are Commissioned as a Second
Lieutenant in the Active Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve.
Regardless of where you serve, you will be rewarded with the knowledge
that you are a professional and are contributing to the security and
welfare of the United States. If you are interested in an ROTC four-year

Students who did not have the opportunity to take Army ROTC during their
freshman or sophomore years can complete the Basic Course requirement
by attending the Leader's Training Course (LTC) at Fort Knox, Ky.,
during the summer. The Leader's Training Course is a paid, four week,
intership focused on building small group leadership skills. A high
percentage of LTC graduates receive scholarships upon their completion
of LTC.
