Army ROTC Program
United States Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) courses may be taken by qualified students of the University of Saint Mary in accordance with its partnership agreement with the University of Kansas Army ROTC program. The program consists of courses and training that prepares students for military service to the United States as a commissioned officer in the Army.
For those students who accept the challenge, ROTC courses will be taken with those required for an academic program leading to a bachelor’s degree. ROTC courses are divided between a Basic Course and Advanced Course. The Basic Course consists of ARMY 101 (1 credit hour); ARMY 102 (1 credit hour); ARMY 201 (1 credit hour); and ARMY 202 (1 credit hour). It is highly recommended that students complete this early and begin to build bonds within the Army team. Upon successful completion of the Basic Course, students must complete five semester Advanced Courses consisting of ARMY 301 (3 credit hours); ARMY 302 (3 credit hours); ARMY 401 (3 credit hours); ARMY 402 (3 credit hours); and ARMY 450 (1 credit hour). Additionally, students must successfully complete the Advanced Camp, a four-week summer training session. ROTC also requires participation in weekly leadership laboratories, a physical fitness conditioning program, and one weekend military training exercise each semester. The ROTC program provides all books, uniforms, and equipment required for ROTC courses and trainings at no cost to the student.
