North East Pennsylvania Battalion The University of Scranton
	U.S. Army ROTC

The ROTC program is designed to train students of any major to be a leader in the military.

The military option is diverse. Graduates of ROTC can go into many military specialties, there is the option of active duty versus reserve duty and the geographic areas of assignment are numerous. University of Scranton graduates from this past year included helicopter pilots, engineers, nurses, tank commanders, signal officers, artillerymen, and quartermasters. The majority go on active duty with some opting into the reserves. Past graduates have moved on to many stateside locations as well as Europe and Asia.

Additionally, the leadership training associated with ROTC and the military is valued greatly by United States industry as well as for government service. Industry "headhunters" look for military officers who have 4 to 8 years of active duty service. Industry knows that the responsibility given to officers greatly exceeds that given to their civilian counterparts. Military service is almost a prerequisite for government civil service jobs and service as an officer is best.

Finally it goes without saying that the skills of leadership learned in ROTC and in the Army enable students to become leaders in their field of study or in their career, as well as in their community and service organizations.
