Reserve Officers' Training Corps

The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) is a college-to-military program that allows Stanford students to become distinguished military leaders through a combination of classroom learning and exciting hands-on training. While Stanford does not physically host any ROTC programs on campus, we have partnered with local campuses to ensure that students can participate in the program of their choice. ROTC pays for your tuition while you go to college and train to become an Officer. You can get the college experience along with a guaranteed career after graduation as a highly respected second lieutenant in the active, Reserve, or National Guard. For more information on the various ROTC programs, please see the cards below.

Curricular and Field Training

ROTC students receive curricular and field training in military science. Programs vary slightly between the services, but typical requirements include one to three hours of classroom instruction and three hours of physical fitness training per week, a one-hour weekly leadership lab, and a one weekend field-training exercise per semester.

Students who would like more information about ROTC opportunities at Stanford should contact OMAC. Students are also welcome to contact the partner units directly.
