Welcome future Panther Battalion Cadets! You are about to embark on an adventure that will set the foundation for your professional career. Army ROTC is the most exciting college course you can take at Prairie View A & M University. It will introduce you to a unique concept of leadership which will benefit you in every aspect of your professional career. Our classes are offered in two parts with the classroom instruction and lab class. Every week you will learn leadership skills, survival techniques and participate in challenging athletic events.

More than 1,700 colleges across the country offer ROTC programs to college students who want to gain leadership skills and military training while receiving a paid education.

High school students, college students, and enlisted soldiers can enroll in the Army ROTC program.

High school juniors or seniors may enroll in the Army ROTC through a scholarship program. College students can enroll in the ROTC’s basic or advanced training course, depending on how far along they are in their college studies. The ROTC advanced course takes about two years to complete.

Students acquire leadership skills through classroom learning, labs, physical training, and field exercises. The program pays for college tuition, and graduates will become officers in the U.S. Army. Scholarship options are available for enlisted soldiers who want to leave active duty to attend college. Enlisted soldiers can choose between the Green-to-Gold scholarship and the Green-to-Gold active duty option. The active duty option is for enlisted soldiers who want to remain on active duty and attend college at the same time.
