Maranatha offers ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) programs for the Army by partnering with the Department of Military Science & Leadership at UW-Madison to produce leaders who will be commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the U. S. Army. All the classes and labs are held on Maranatha's campus.
The ROTC program at Maranatha is open to all majors and can be combined with an Organizational Leadership minor or concentration. Active and reserve opportunities exist in many branches including, but not limited to, military intelligence, aviation, engineering, infantry, armor, and logistics. Opportunities for further education include law, medical, and chaplain school.
ROTC Advantages
ROTC programs accept young people who are athletes, leaders, and scholars. These students receive training in leadership skills they can use for the rest of their life. Many former officers have used their ROTC leadership skills to become successful business or government leaders.
Students enrolled in ROTC programs do not "join the Army"; instead they take ROTC classes for credit while pursuing a regular college degree. Upon successful completion of the program, ROTC cadets become commissioned officers.
In addition to providing quality leadership training, ROTC programs award scholarships to students to help them pay for college. All eligible Maranatha students who attend the 2008 summer Leadership Training Camp will receive a full scholarship. Eligible nursing students will also receive a full scholarship. Additional ROTC summer programs such as the Airborne School, Air Assault School, and Leadership Internships are also available to Cadets.
Students can also participate in other extracurricular activities such as Ranger Challenge, Color Guard, and German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge competitions.
Eligibility
Cadets are accepted based on their athletic, leadership and scholarly abilities. They should also be serious about become a military officer.
