Take your Extraordinary SBU Journey to Greater Heights

Prior to the start of a basketball game in Reilly Center Arena, a ROTC cadet rappels from the rafters to the floor below with the game ball in his backpack.ROTC is 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. 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 believe we offer the best leadership course in America and we prepare you for success in any walk of life: military, corporate, government or non-profit.

Army ROTC prepares St. Bonaventure University students for officer responsibilities in the active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard following graduation or after deferment to attend advanced civilian schooling.

What is the obligation?

Introductory courses let you take a look at officer opportunities without obligation. Once you accept a scholarship or enter the final two years, you will make a commitment to serve as an officer on Active, Reserve, or National Guard duty.
