Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps
The Army R.O.T.C. program provides
education in leadership and management
courses leadi ng to a commission in the Army.
Students in all academic fields are eligible
for admission in the general military science
program. Students completing the program
may serve in any arm of service of the Army
after post-graduate basic training in the
appropriate service school . The length of
such service is to be a period of six months
or two years , contingent upon the requirements
of the service, as prescribed by the
Armed Forces Reserve Act of 1955. It is
the continuing effort of the Department of
the Army to assign graduates to the arm or
service most closely aligned with the indi-
vidual's capabilities, professional training,
and preference.
Students are enrolled in the Army Reserve
Officers' Training Corps under one of three
programs . These programs are:
Scholarship Program. High School seniors
are selected by nationwide competitive examination
. Successful candidates receive tuition,
books, uniforms, fees, and $50 per month
from the Department of the Army for a maximum
of twelve quarters . Students enrolled
under this program must successfully complete
the Basic Course and the Advanced
Course before commissioning. A limited number
of two- and three-year scholarships are
available for outstanding students who have
successfully completed all or portions of the
Basic Course and who intend to enter the
Advanced Course . See the Military Science
Department for details.
Four-Year Program. Students are enrolled
in the Basic Course on a voluntary basis.
Upon completion of the Basic Course and
entrance into the Advanced Course, students
are required to execute a contract with the
Department of the Army agreeing to complete
the Advanced Course, enlist in the
United States Army Reserve, and accept a
commission if offered. Advanced Course students
receive $50 per month, military science
books, and uniforms. Aliens may participate
but they are not eligible for subsistance.
Two-Year Program. This program is primarily
designed for transfer students from
junior colleges and four-year institutions that
do not offer Army R.O.T.C. Competition for
existing spaces is extremely keen. (UCLA
undergraduate students are encouraged to
enroll in the four -year program.) Students
apply for this program during the Winter
Quarter of their sophomore year and must
attend a six-week summer camp between
their sophomore and junior years. Upon successful
completion of this basic summer
