Department of Military Science (ROTC)


Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) is one of the best leadership courses in the country and can be a part of your college curriculum. Being a student at Morgan State University and learning to become a leader will make your college experience even richer and prepare you for the future. Within ROTC, you will gain the confidence and competence to lead others, organizations, your community, and your country.

Becoming an Officer - Success Now and in the Future

Army ROTC prepares college students to succeed in any competitive environment. The leadership training and experiences that you will gain in Army ROTC will provide you with a foundation to become a Commissioned Army Officer upon graduation.

Starting Your Career

After you graduate from college, you will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. Your career as an Officer will just be the beginning. You'll find a variety of interesting Officer career fields- called branches- in the Army. Once you choose your Army branch, you will embark on specialized training.

Learn more about Branches and Specialties at the official Army website. For more detailed information and specific contact information, visit the Virtual Branching Office website.

Upon completion of Officer branch training and arriving at your first assignment, Army Officers may pursue additional specialized training and post-graduate education opportunities. You will most likely be assigned to advanced leadership and staff positions. You may also develop doctrine, teach military tactics or serve as advisors.
