Adventure Training

Each of the schools listed below are official Army Schools and the cadets (upon completion) are allowed to wear the respective badges for those schools on their uniforms. We have limited amount of slots to each school every year, so cadets have to compete for the honor of attending the school. To be competitive for a slot, the cadet has to have one of the highest Grade Point Averages in their respective class, have a passing APFT (the higher the better), and demonstrate leadership potential to their instructor.

This program is exclusively designed for MSIII Cadets after completion of LDAC.

NSTP (Nurse Summer Training Program)

Nursing students who are also Army ROTC Cadets have an opportunity for a unique summer nursing experience. The paid, three-week Nurse Summer Training Program assigns Cadets to Army hospitals throughout the U.S. and Germany.
