Reserve Officers’ Training Corps

IUSB offers the opportunity to combine the pursuit of an academic degree with earning an officer’s commission. Students should check with their academic program advisors concerning applicability of Reserve Officers’ Training Corp (ROTC) program credit(s) toward degree requirements. No tuition is charged for 100- and 200-level ROTC courses; regular IUSB tuition rates are assessed for 300- and 400-level courses. ROTC course descriptions can be found at the end of the undergraduate course description section.

Military Science

The mission of the United States Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program is to prepare quality college students to assume the role of a commissioned officer in the United States Army upon graduation. Students enrolling in Military Science (Army ROTC) are under no service obligation until enrollment in the advanced course portion of the program (MIL G311, MIL G312, MIL G411, and MIL G412). After completion of the ROTC program the student is obligated to serve four years in the active Army or eight years in the United States Army Reserves or Army National Guard. It should be known that junior officers are among the highest recruited population group of people in their 20’s because of their leadership, management, and interpersonal skills. All Army ROTC basic courses (MIL G111, MIL G112, MIL G211, and MIL G212) can be taken for credit without being an Army ROTC cadet. All reference materials and uniforms are supplied by the department. Tuition scholarships are available to qualified students. Upon enrollment in the advanced course of the program, students earn a monthly stipend of $200 per month and $225 each semester for books.

Interested students should contact the Notre Dame Army ROTC scholarship and enrollment officer at (574) 631-9342 or 631-6265 or toll-free at (800) UND ARMY.

Naval Science

(Nursing Program)

The mission of the NROTC Program is to develop midshipmen in order to commission college graduates as officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. Scholarships may be available for those participating in the IUSB Nursing Program and the Navy ROTC program.

Students enrolled in the two-year NROTC Program attend the Naval Science Institute in Newport, Rhode Island, for seven weeks during the summer prior to their junior year and complete their curriculum with advanced courses (junior and senior years) of the NROTC Program. Classes meet in the Pasquerilla Center (ROTC), University of Notre Dame.

Additional Program Requirements

Depending upon the student’s status (scholarship or nonscholarship) and his or her goals, certain courses regularly offered by other university departments will be required. These course requirements will be discussed and identified prior to enrollment in the program.

The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is an educational program designed to give men and women the opportunity to become an Air Force officer while completing a degree.

Following commissioning there are excellent opportunities for additional education in a wide variety of academic fields.
