UD Army ROTC offers classes to all students, which can serve as elective credit within the regular college curriculum. Students do not require prior military experience or a commitment to the Army for the first two years of the program. Learning to become a leader will make any college experience richer and prepare one for the future. During classes, leadership labs, physical training, and field training, cadets learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups, and conduct missions as an officer in the Army.
