About
The Department of Military Science at UMBC partners with various military programs and academic institutions to give UMBC students the access and experience needed to begin or continue their careers as service members while pursuing college degrees.
The Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (Army ROTC) provides an elective course of study that allows full-time UMBC students the opportunity to learn leadership and problem-solving skills; these students may ultimately earn a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard while pursuing a regular college degree. UMBC students can enroll in many of the courses offered without making a commitment to serve in the Army. Competitive ROTC scholarships, internship, and other specialized opportunities are available. UMBC’s Army ROTC leadership program serves to support the next generation of Army leaders and broader communities while its cadets embody the values and successes of UMBC.
