Prairie View A&M University has a long and proud tradition of military instruction dating back to 1943. Prairie View A&M is the only Historically Black College and University in the entire state of Texas that hosts an Army ROTC program. This too speaks well of our long military traditions of quality and excellence. Simply put, we produce top quality officers. Over the last 62 years, Prairie View's ROTC program has commissioned nearly 1,400 officers, many of whom have reached the highest ranks in military services or achieved great success in civilian endeavors.
Leadership That Lasts a Lifetime
Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college classes. It gives you the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army. At that point, you will have a wide range of interest areas you can specialize in called branches.
