ROTC at VMI
The Reserve Officer Training Corps is the largest source of commissioned officers for America’s Armed Forces, and VMI has one of the most robust ROTC programs of any college in the nation.
VMI is among the very few colleges that offers ROTC options in all the services – the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force.
Every cadet must participate in ROTC training, but only those cadets who receive an ROTC scholarship are required to enter military service. About half of VMI’s cadets earn commissions as second lieutenants or ensigns.
