About ROTC
Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps
St. Bonaventure University
We are the primary source of U.S. Army officers -- 75% of all Army officers. At St. Bonaventure University, we have produced more than 700 lieutenants for America 's Army. We remain an excellent choice for young men and women seeking to serve as officers -- prestigious professionals who lead the most respected institution in America .
We are a college elective you can try out for up to two years with no obligation. Unlike traditional college programs, we give you a wide range of experiences while you work toward your degree. You'll combine classroom time with hands-on experience, learning skills and acquiring leadership traits that are sure to give you an edge over your peers when it comes time to look for a job. Whether you're planning a career in the Army or the corporate world, Army ROTC is one of the smartest college courses you can take.
We are a diverse group of individuals with broad interests. Individuals who were presidents of their student governments, captains of their varsity sports teams, club presidents, or members of the National Honor Society. In short, we are leaders -- individuals committed to becoming the best they possibly can be.
Many prominent Americans got their start through Army ROTC. Nationally, the program has produced two U.S. Secretaries of State, innumerable business and civic leaders and a female astronaut. Among the more famous graduates of the program are Colin Powell, Sam Walton, Earl Graves, Lenny Wilkins and James Earl Jones.
We prepare you for success in any walk of life -- military, corporate, government or non-profit.

What we do
We develop leaders, teach military skills and train hard. If you have what it takes to be one of us, we'll teach you how to succeed in a competitive world -- both in college and beyond.
We look beyond a desire to make you feel good about yourself. We do more than make you feel like you're a winner -- we teach you how to be a winner. Are you ready to test your confidence? We'll give you the chance to jump from an airplane. We'll push you to your very limit, and show you how to go even further. We'll teach you more about yourself than you ever thought possible.
We know what life is like after college, and we get you ready for it. We show you the ropes -- like how to use one to leave a building from the fifth floor.
We understand the world, and we're committed to getting you ready for it. Whether it's a military deployment to the Middle East , peacekeeping in Europe , or a boardroom meeting on Wall Street, we'll teach you how to cope with anything life can throw your way.
