Military training has existed
at MIT ever since the Institute opened its doors in 1865. More
than 12,000 officers have been commissioned from MIT, of whom
more than 150 have reached the rank of general or admiral. Students
who are United States citizens or who have applied for citizenship,
are of good moral character, and are medically qualified for military
service, may participate in the programs. Non-citizens who fulfill
naturalization requirements for citizenship prior to graduation
may enroll and participate in the four-year nonscholarship programs.
The Air Force ROTC program
provides students the opportunity to become commissioned officers
in the Air Force while completing their undergraduate or graduate
degree.
The Army ROTC program
of instruction is designed to enhance a student's college education
by providing unique leadership and management training along with
practical experience.
The purpose of the Naval ROTC
program is to provide instruction and training in naval science
subjects which, when coupled with a bachelor's degree, qualify
selected students for commissions in the US Navy.
More information on the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
can be found in the MIT
Course Catalogue.
