MILITARY SCIENCE MAJOR/MINOR & ROTC: RIVERHAWK BATTALION
Welcome to the Northeastern State University Military Science department, home of the Army ROTC Riverhawk Battalion. We offer a bachelors degree in Military Science as well as two minor options, Military Leadership and Military Science. We also provide a non-degree option through our ROTC program.
The Army ROTC program at NSU is both challenging and rewarding. There's no commitment required to join; you can try it out during your Freshman and Sophomore years and gain some valuable leadership skills at the same time. But if you're ready to commit to a challenging career, then an Army ROTC scholarship might be available for you. If you are a member of the Army National Guard, Army Reserve, or have prior military experience you may be able to take advantage of additional financial benefits in ROTC while you continue college. Contact us right away to see how you can become part of the Army ROTC program here at NSU.
