Army ROTC
Army ROTC at Santa Clara University is a program that fosters the development of cadets' academic, athletic, professional, and mental strengths. This program is ideally designed as a four-year process. During classes, leadership labs, physical training, and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups, and conduct missions as an Officer in the US Army.

Mentally preparing myself for the day, I get out of bed and do my absolute best to be quiet, as I do not want to wake up my roommate. Donning my Army Combat Uniform (ACUs) and meticulously packing my backpack, I make every effort to shake off the grogginess. Once satisfied that nothing essential has been overlooked, I step out the door. Learn more here
