A place where interested students and parents can ask questions and find out more about the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. One of the nation's six premier senior military colleges, we offer two equal tracks: Military (for cadets enrolled in one of our three top-performing ROTC programs Army, Air Force, or Naval -including the Marine Option), or Citizen-Leader (for cadets who want the additional pr
eparation for securing a career after graduation). Currently, 1,245 cadets are enrolled, with approximately 475 new cadets enrolling each year, fairly equally divided amongst each of the ROTCs and the Citizen Leader Track. The Corps lives together on Upper Quad in brand new, air conditioned residence halls all four years. Fifth year students graduate from the Corps and are allowed to live off-campus. The Corps has quiet hours for four hours each evening, Sunday through Thursday. And, cadets take a leadership lab each semester, which can lead to an academic minor in Leadership Studies. At the heart of our leader development program, is the Honor Code: A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do. the non-toleration clause is above and beyond what other students at Virginia Tech are expected to live up to.
