Army ROTC strives to develop values-based graduates who offer expert leadership to the campus, the community, and the Army. As such, we offer and encourage cadets to participate in: paid leadership and technical internships in a number of Army military school opportunities in Europe, South America, the Republic of Korea, Alaska, Hawaii, and across the continental United States.
Internship opportunities for cadets widely vary and are updated each semester. Contact the ROTC cadre for current opportunities and questions.

Cadet Troop Leadership Training
For Senior Students:
Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) is designed as a “follow-on” training experience for ROTC Advanced Camp graduates. CTLT offers cadets the opportunity to intern and perform the duties of a Second Lieutenant in the Army’s basic branches, for up to one month with an active duty unit in the continental United States or overseas.
Actual duties performed will vary by branch and unit but will generally be those duties expected of a Second Lieutenant in that unit. Many cadets will serve as either platoon leaders or assistant platoon leaders. This is a fantastically rewarding opportunity and should be sought by all eligible cadets. Cadets receive pay and allowance equal to 1/2 that of a second lieutenant. Must be an Advanced Camp graduate and not participating in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP).
List of Summer 2023 CTLT Selectees
- Cadet Colleen Morgan (UMBC, Class 2024)– Air Defense Artillery branch in Germany.
- Cadet Francisco Crespin (UMBC, Class 2024)– Medical Service Corps branch at Fort Bragg, NC
