Join Army ROTC
Army ROTC at Trevecca gives students the opportunity to develop the skills, discipline and character required to become Army officers while pursuing a degree in a Christ-centered university community.
You develop the skills to lead small units while earning your Trevecca degree. Graduates commission as Second Lieutenants in the Active Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve. Army ROTC provides the military leadership experience; Trevecca provides the Christ-centered educational environment.
