Military Science
⭐ ROTC
All cadets must satisfy an ROTC requirement for every semester during which they are enrolled at The Citadel, or until they have completed eight semesters or met graduation requirements.
🪖 Military Science
The Army ROTC program of instruction at The Citadel is geared toward teaching “hands-on skills” that are required of a new Second Lieutenant in the active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Instruction at all levels centers around leadership. Military Science is a four-year program of instruction, divided into a two year Basic Course and a two-year Advanced Course. The program includes instruction in basic combat techniques, physical training, weapons, general military subjects, tactics, and communication skills. Selected cadets have the opportunities to attend military schools and unique training opportunities.
In addition to the schooling opportunities, cadets will have the opportunity to serve as “Third Lieutenants” with an active Army unit for two to four weeks in the Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) Program. The Citadel also has one of the largest Simultaneous Membership Programs (SMP) in the nation. This program is a volunteer officer training program which allows Army National Guard and Army Reserve enlisted members to also participate in the Advanced ROTC course leading to a commission in one of the reserve components.
