Army ROTC
Welcome to the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Web site at The University of Texas at Austin. Unlike any other college program we combine academics, athletics and fraternity all in one!
Academics
We prepare you for commission as a second lieutenant with courses in leadership, management and military history while you take academic courses leading to a baccalaureate or advanced degree.
Athletics
We give you opportunity to get in top shape through our physical training program, our intramural sports teams, or - to test yourself further - as a member of our 1st-place Ranger Challenge team.
Fraternity
As a member of "The Band of Brothers," you will be part of America’s biggest fraternity — the US Army. And our senior mentorship program helps you network with our Longhorn Battalion Alumni who are present in all facets of our training and are a valuable asset to your development as a future leader.
Opportunities are limitless ... it's up to you. Apply for a full scholarship, serve your country, graduate with more than a degree. Challenge yourself in the most noble of professions — a US Army Officer!
