Welcome to Ram Battalion: Army ROTC at UNC

Army ROTC is one of the best leadership courses in the country and is part of your college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, you will learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups, and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC you will earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and be commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard.

Army ROTC was introduced at UNC in 1983. In 1997 the program was consolidated with the ROTC program at Colorado State University. Military training and ROTC have made valuable contributions to the Universities, Colorado, and the Nation. The program has advanced from a makeshift drill team to a highly organized group of young men and women. Both ROTC programs have grown rapidly and have received regional and national recognition. Since its inception the UNC ROTC has produced over 100 commissioned officers. The program was recently recognized as the best of its size in the brigade.
