ROTC

Army ROTC is a series of elective courses. During classes and field training, you will learn first-hand what it takes to lead effective organizations, motivate others, and problem-solving techniques necessary to become a successful Army officer. You can attend the first two years of classes to further yourself professionally without any service obligation. If you choose to continue beyond the first two years of ROTC, upon graduation from college and Army ROTC, not only will you be eligible to receive a Minor in Military Science (Colorado School of Mines), but you will also be fully prepared to take charge as a commissioned leader.

Newly commissioned lieutenants will enter the workforce and supervise as many as 45 soldiers, while being accountable for millions of dollars in assets. Upon completion of military service, civilian employers will highly seek your leadership experience and technical knowledge. We are looking for high quality students who are seeking opportunities to develop themselves professionally. If you are seeking a challenge — academically, physically, with leadership potential — and want to have fun, then Army ROTC may be your tool to developing a pathway to achieving success. Our team of Cadre and continuing cadets are ready to help you be successful, work with you to develop your confidence and management skills, have the best college experience possible, and make you marketable following college. We invite you to explore the opportunities that Army ROTC has to offer. If you have questions, or would like to discuss your options further, feel free to email ROTC@mines.edu, or call us at 303-273-3380.

Air Force ROTC classes are also available through Mines. Email det105@colorado.edu for more information.
