This is Oregon State University Army ROTC's official page.
OSU Army ROTC continues the tradition of "The West Point of the West,” the nickname earned during World War II when the OSU Corps produced more officers than any other non-military academy in the nation. Our Army ROTC graduates continue their proud heritage of dedicated service to the nation, while our current cadets accept the challenges of the ROTC program as they prepare to be tomorrow’s leaders.

Mission: The mission of the ROTC program is to commission the future officer leadership of the U.S. Army and to motivate young people to be better citizens.
General information
PMS- LTC David McRae
The focus of the ROTC program is leadership development. Students learn problem solving techniques, decision-making skills, planning and organizing skills, interpersonal communications skills, professional ethics and responsibilities, and other management and leadership skills. Leadership labs and field training exercises supplement classroom work with practical leadership training and experience.
Students receive frequent developmental counseling from their U.S. Army officer and non-commissioned officer (NCO) instructors. Cadets are encouraged to participate in Army ROTC extracurricular activities such as the Ranger Challenge Team or the Color Guard.
Cadets have opportunities to attend professional development training programs each summer such as Airborne School, Air Assault School, Northern Warfare School, Mountain Warfare School, or Cadet Troop Leadership Training.
Upon graduation and successful completion of the ROTC curriculum, cadets will be commissioned into the United States Army as Second Lieutenants. They will become officers, leading the most powerful armed force in the world.
