WELCOME TO THE BOBCAT BATTALION!

Army ROTC is a college elective that focuses on leadership and management training and can lead to an Army officer's commission. Texas State University's Army ROTC offers students the opportunity to learn and grow in a variety of ways. The program of instruction challenges each cadet in the battalion in both indoor and outdoor settings; cadets participate in classroom instruction while also engaging in world class physical fitness training, land navigation, marksmanship, and other military activities. Cadets learn management and leadership skills not available in other university programs.

The Army ROTC experience contributes to a variety of job skills applicable to any profession while instilling in each cadet a sense of confidence, discipline, and personal responsibility. Moreover, each cadet gains the satisfaction of being part of a select group of great Americans dedicated to national values and service to the nation.
