The Spartan Battalion at Michigan State University offers a dynamic environment where you'll forge yourself into a leader, both physically and mentally.
There are many extracurricular opportunities within the Spartan Battalion for our Cadets to reinforce leadership and individual skills, group participation, and earn points to compete for active duty and branch choice.
Forge your future as a leader. The Army ROTC Program empowers you to earn your commission as a Second Lieutenant, ready to command, guide, and inspire in the world's most powerful army.
A Contracted ROTC Cadet is propelled onto a dedicated leadership track. You commit to completing the entire program, leading to a guaranteed commission as an officer upon graduation.
MSU Army ROTC is committed to the Army Values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, integrity, and personal courage and the Spartan Values of individual strength, collective power, and extraordinary achievement. Our Cadet Handbook aims to provide our students with a guide to successfully navigate their time at MSU Army ROTC. The handbook will take you through everything from academic offerings to how you can get involved in the program and on campus. This information will serve you from now until your graduation.
