Welcome to the University of Texas at Arlington Corps of Cadets

The Corps of Cadets traces its heritage to the Carlisle Military Academy, which was founded on the current grounds of the University of Texas at Arlington in 1902. Since then, the cadets have distinguished themselves as scholars, athletes and leaders, not only in the military, but also in academia, government, and business. Today the tradition continues, the cadets remain an integral part of the university life, participating and supporting many school activities throughout the year. The proud legacy of the Corps continues to be enriched by each generation of graduates as they take those ideals and principles and become leaders in their chosen fields. WE DEVELOP THE FUTURE MILITARY, CORPORATE, AND POLITICAL LEADERS OF AMERICA The ARMY ROTC Program is an elective curriculum that you take along your college classes. It prepares you with the tools, training and experience that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. ROTC takes very little of your time, yet it provides benefits that will last you a lifetime. You can join ROTC without any military obligation for the first two years and may qualify for scholarships that help you pay for college. The University of Texas at Arlington serves as our host campus, however, our cadets are enrolled in many of our partnership institutions. Make sure you visit the participating schools web pages for specific information concerning enrollment and attendance at ROTC. If you are interested, curious, or need a challenge, contact our Enrollment and Scholarship Officer, no commitment. Make sure you read the information provided in this web site and ask as many questions as you and your parents need to ask to understand what ROTC offers, and why the Maverick Battalion is ranked tops in the country.
