Do you want to become a strong leader? Are you interested in a challenging and exciting career in the Army? You should get involved in the Army ROTC program at the University of North Texas.
Many careers in the Army do not require a specific academic major. Potential career fields include:
In the Department of Military Science, we provide dynamic and interactive training in leadership development that prepares you for a successful career. Two-, three- and four-year options are available.
You can remain in the program for up to two years with no obligation to serve unless you are awarded a scholarship or contract with the Army. Other opportunities include:
In addition to the on-campus training activities, you can participate in training opportunities throughout the world. Cadets often train with active duty units in Japan, Germany and England as well as the United States.
You will broaden your Army and leadership knowledge each semester through the Basic Course, Advanced Course and Leadership Laboratory. All courses apply toward your UNT degree.
The Basic Course focuses on military life as well as the Army’s mission and structure. You also examine military history, leadership development, health and fitness, and national defense. Leadership, ethics, professionalism and officership are the focal points of the Advanced Course. The Leadership Laboratory allows you to participate in leadership discussions and exercises with other ROTC members.
Once you earn your degree and meet other qualifications, you can be commissioned in the Army Reserves, Army National Guard or active duty Army.
As an incoming freshman, you may receive a four-year scholarship. Four-year scholarships are based on your SAT or ACT scores, recommendations from high school teachers, extracurricular activities, high school grades, and an interview with an Army representative. You can apply for a scholarship no later than Jan. 10 of your senior year in high school.
The UNT Army ROTC Scholarship covers full tuition and fees as well as books up to $1,200.
Other scholarships are available if you decide to participate in ROTC at a later date.
Information about scholarship opportunities and deadlines is at www.armyrotc.unt.edu.
You must be a U.S. citizen attending UNT full time, be in good physical condition and have good moral character.
We encourage you to fulfill the graduation requirements for the Texas Recommended or Distinguished Achievement Program or the equivalent in high school.
In your junior year, take the SAT or the ACT and have your scores sent to UNT.
In your senior year, apply for admission at www.applytexas.org by March 1 and request that your high school transcript be sent to the UNT admissions office.
Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses can count toward college credit at UNT. For details, visit www.unt.edu/credit.
If you're attending a Texas community college, you should consult our Transfer Articulation web page, the UNT Undergraduate Catalog and an academic counselor/advisor to discuss your degree plan. Proper planning will help you receive the maximum amount of transfer credits.
Our Transfer Center will help you make a successful transition to college life at UNT by connecting you with a peer mentor and other campus resources. More than 3,500 students transfer to UNT each year. The center is in the University Union, Room 320. More information is at transition.unt.edu.
