" ROTC is not the presence of the military in the university, but rather the presence of the university in the military, " Dr. Lee S. Dreyfus, Chancellor U of Wise. ARMY ROTC Army ROTC is a program that offers college students the opportunity to grad- uate as officers and serve in the United States Army or the US Army National Re- serves. AROTC enchances a student ' s educa- tion by providing unique leadership and management training along with practical experience. It helps a student develop many of the qualities basic to success in the Army or in a civilian career. AROTC gives a student a valuable op- portunity to build for the future by en- abling them to earn a college degree and officer ' s commission at the same time. The four-year AROTC program is divid- ed into two parts: the basic course and the advanced course. The basic course is usually taken dur- ing the first two years of college and cov- ers such subjects as management princi- ples, national defense, military history and leadership development. All neces- sary uniforms and equipment are pro- vided to the student at no cost. After they have completed the basic course and show the potential to be an officer, they may enroll in the advanced course. The advanced course is usually taken the last two years of study. It includes in- struction in organization and manage- ment, tactics, ethics and professionalism, and further leadership development. During the summer between junior and senior years, advanced course cadets at- tend a fully-paid six-week training session called advanced camp. This gives cadets the chance to practice what they have learned in the classroom and introduces them to Army life " in the field.
