Overview

The Army ROTC program at Newberry College is designed to enhance a student‘s college education by providing unique training and practical experience in leadership and management techniques essential to success in any career. Upon graduation from Newberry College, contracted Cadets who have successfully completed ROTC training are awarded a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army National Guard, or the U.S. Army Reserve. Army ROTC is a chance to develop skills for success such as confidence, self-esteem, motivation, and the ability to lead others and make decisions. If students want to build towards a successful future, Army ROTC is one of the smartest college courses they will ever take.
