Cadet Life
Experience the Camaraderie of ROTC
When you become a part of Army ROTC, you're not just working toward a diploma, but an even brighter future as a leader alongside other motivated Cadets. But make no mistake, you're a student first. You'll have a college schedule like your fellow students, but you'll also receive classroom and field courses that will challenge and excite you. Beyond that, you can take part in events and activities with fellow Cadets that will make your college experience even better.
Training and Curriculum
Cadets participate in a variety of different activities creating an immersive college experience. Some of these experiences include Color Guard, Ranger Challenge Team and other morale building activities. UWB Army ROTC fields teams in most intramural sports providing Cadets multiple opportunities to participate in a competitive atmosphere. The Warrior Battalion has also participated in the Ranger Challenge Competition (a two-day event containing every Military test imaginable),and numerous other events throughout the school year. Just like every other student UWB cadets participate in campus-wide clubs, organizations and activities.
