Overview
The University of Scranton’s Military Science
Department, also known as the Royal Warrior
Battalion, was named the top officer-producing
program in the Second Brigade and was
documented in the top 10% of 105 programs
in the First ROTC Region (East Coast) for
2002. It was also selected as “Best Unit” for
1999 in the First ROTC Region, and the
department established itself in the top 10%
of all 270 ROTC programs in 1998.
The Royal Warrior Battalion has a flexible
ROTC program that can be tailored to most
students’ needs, and classes are offered on
campus. Two- and four-year programs are
available, both of which lead to a commission
as an officer in the United States Army (after
passing a medical examination). Most students
take one course per semester of the
basic course program (freshman and sophomore
years), and one course per semester of
the advance courses (junior and senior years).
The Royal Warrior Battalion enjoys outstanding
results in awarding scholarships. In
fact, all qualified applicants from 1998 to 2002
who applied for a two-, three- or four-year
campus-based scholarship were offered that
scholarship. As of the spring 2003 semester,
162 students were enrolled in the Royal Warrior
Battalion, with 86 scholarship recipients.
Advanced ROTC Course
Juniors, seniors and graduate students qualify
for entry into the Advanced ROTC course
in three ways:
1. On-campus courses: Most students take
the introductory Military Science
courses of the basic Military Science program
on campus during their freshman
and sophomore years. This allows them
to participate in adventure training, and
to learn about the opportunities and
responsibilities of being an Army officer
without incurring any obligation.
