ROTC


Army ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) is an engaging and immersive course of study offered at the University of New Haven. It provides unparalleled leadership training that prepares students for success in any career field. All students are encouraged to take the first-year and sophomore classes as no military obligation is required. Students who fully enroll in the program will participate in physical training, classroom instruction, leadership lab experiences, and field training exercises in order to facilitate a hands-on approach to leadership development. These lessons set students apart, physically, and mentally, and develop them into confident and competent leaders. Upon completion of the program the students are prepared to commission as Second Lieutenants (2LT) in the U.S. Army. They can serve in a myriad of branches (occupational specialties) across the Active Duty Army, U.S. Army reserve, and Army National Guard. 

The AFROTC (Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps) program is available to University of New Haven students at Yale University's main campus in New Haven. Through the AFROTC program, University of New Haven students, without paying extra tuition, can pursue a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force. The first-year student and sophomore courses carry no military obligation and are open to all students. Scholarships are also available for qualified students. These scholarships pay up to full tuition and fees, as well as money for books and a monthly tax-free stipend.
