Army ROTC Programs

The Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) program is one of the most successful leadership programs in the U.S. It offers cadets paid tuition and a military career post-graduation. ROTC programs at Grand Canyon University (GCU) can help you develop governance skills that meet high U.S. Army quality standards and will be useful in post-military careers.

Learn the principles of leadership, management and problem solving, all of which will help you thrive as an Army officer and in a future work environment.

Build lifelong relationships with fellow ROTC members within the training environment, and participate in rewarding club activities.

When you graduate, you will receive an officer commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army and the opportunity to serve in the most powerful ground force in the world.

Your obligation to the Army is eight years total: four years in Active Duty and four years in the Active Reserve components or Individual Ready Reserve (non-Active Reserve).

You will also take a three-credit class that may be used as an elective toward your degree. Your lab will meet on Thursday mornings. Physical training meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Non-scholarship students can try Army ROTC programs for up to two years with no obligation while they work toward a college degree either at GCU or one of the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) colleges. Just sign up for MSL-101 in the fall or MSL-102 in the spring.
