Army ROTC Program
Four-year Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs are available in conjunction with the University of Virginia. These programs offer the opportunity to take classes in army or air science, and can lead to becoming a commissioned officer in the Army or Air Force. The credit awarded for ROTC classes counts toward PVCC degree requirements. For further information about PVCC credit, contact the Division of Mathematics, Sciences and Human Services at 434.961.5431.
The Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) offers a general military science curriculum that provides eligible students the opportunity to become commissioned officers in the United States Army while completing their undergraduate or graduate degrees.
Qualified cadets enroll in one military science class and leadership laboratory each semester. Cadets attend a five-week leadership training camp during the summer between their third and fourth years. With the instructor's permission, students not enrolled in Army ROTC may take military science classes as electives. These students are not cadets and do not participate in MSC 001.
Second year, transfer, and graduate students who were unable to take ROTC during the first two years of College may be eligible for a compressed program. These students complete a five week summer internship at Fort Knox, Kentucky. During attendance they are provided transportation, food, lodging, and cadet pay. They may also compete for two year scholarships.
Merit-based financial assistance is offered to qualified students through two, three, and four year scholarships for tuition assistance (up to 17,000 per year), $600 annually for books and equipment, and a $250 monthly stipend during the school year. Students may apply during their junior or senior years of high school and their first and second years of College. Scholarship recipients incur a military service obligation.
Non-scholarship cadets enroll in the same courses as scholarship cadets. During their third and fourth years, they receive a subsistence allowance of $250 per month. Non-scholarship cadets incur no military obligation until the last two years of a four year academic program as the university.
