About ROTC

Columbus State, in conjunction with the U.S. Army, maintains a Department of Military Science for students who elect to combine military leadership and managerial training with a traditional academic program.

The military science curriculum of 33 credit hours is divided into the basic course for freshmen and sophomores and the advanced course for juniors and seniors. The basic course is open to all students without any military obligation. Students may attend a five-week Camp Challenge between their sophomore and junior years at Fort Knox, Kentucky in lieu of the basic course classes at the university to qualify for the advanced course.

Prior service veterans are exempt from basic course requirements. The advanced course is open only to students approved by the professor of military science. Students who complete the advanced course are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army, National Guard or Army Reserve upon graduation. Textbooks and other required course materials are furnished at no charge. Scholarships are also available.
