Additionally, the military can provide additional training through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) as well as Service Academies and Military Colleges.

The ROTC is a program offered by the Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force throughout our nation’s colleges that allows a student to have college paid for by promising to fulfill a term of duty after college ends. ROTC programs are available in over 1,000 colleges and universities throughout the country, providing students with an excellent post-high school option.
