Program Overview

ROTC is the Army's Reserve Officer Training Corps--a program that prepares college students to earn commissions in the United States Army as Second-Lieutenants upon graduation by teaching them "the science of warfare and the art of leadership".  To learn more about ROTC, click on the ROTC shield below.  The Shield, worn by all ROTC cadets and cadre from every Army ROTC program around the country and territories of the United States, is divided into quarters representing each of the four traditional Military Science courses.  Our Motto is "LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE".

    Mission Statement   

    The BSU Department of Military Science and Leadership Development will serve as the premier leadership development program on three different campuses, Ball State University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Indiana Purdue at Fort Wayne University, by attracting, preparing, mentoring, and developing quality cadets into professional officers and developing our reputation as a positive contributing member of each campus using immersive learning opportunities.
