ROTC

Accepted Students

Bucknellís Army ROTC program (Bison Battalion) congratulates this year's class of accepted students.

The ROTC program is designed to prepare college graduates for Army service as commissioned officers in the Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard. Military science courses supplement a regular degree program by offering practical hands-on leadership and management experience.

First-year students may enroll in the program on a trial basis with no commitment to either the program or to the military. Students meet once weekly for an hour and attend monthly leadership labs, which are designed to reinforce the information received in the classroom. The program also hosts a weekend field trip once during the semester, focusing on small unit tactics, adventure training (rappelling, high ropes, rock wall), land navigation, and leadership reaction courses, to name a few.

Various types and lengths of scholarships are available. Some of which guarantee duty in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard.

Scholarship cadets receive: FULL tuition, a subsistence allowance of up to $500 a month, and a book allowance of up to $1200 a year. Bucknell University pays room and board for their scholarship cadets.

Our Cadre, Staff and Cadets are excited about our program and the opportunity it affords. We hope to see you enrolled in MILS 101 in the fall.
