ROTC

The University of South Carolina is one of the few schools in the nation to have Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC programs. These programs prepare students to be both leaders and life-long learners.

Scholarships

Each ROTC program at USC offers scholarships that can ease the burden of paying for a college degree. With a lower cost of education, cadets can focus on what really matters: growing as a leader and scholar.

Academics

The ROTC programs are not limited to any degree programs. Whether your passion is art or engineering, ROTC enhances studies by emphasizing the importance of making academics a priority. The leadership skills learned through ROTC will show up in the classroom and beyond.

Your Future

Each ROTC program at Carolina is a strong professional community. Joining this community allows cadets to tap into unique career opportunities and build a professional network. The relationships built during the four years in a USC ROTC program benefit cadets for a lifetime.
