Managed by the Department of Military Science, the ROTC program at Ball State continues to produce modern leaders with the tools to make a difference within our community and the U.S. Army.
Our program maintains the ability to accept any major of study at Ball State University and commission second lieutenants upon graduation on Active Component, National Guard, or Army Reserves. Our team provides a pathway to additional training and networking through internships, summer travel opportunities, and branch specialty awarded to each cadet upon graduation.
