ROTC

Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps

Saint Peter’s College, through a cross-enrollment agreement with Seton Hall University, offers the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program to qualified students. The program complements the normal College course of study and qualifies those who complete it for commissions as officers in the Active Army, the US Army Reserve or the Army National Guard.

Interested students should contact Seton Hall University ROTC Department at (973) 761-9446 or by E-Mail at ROTC@SHU.EDU.

The four-year program consists of one Military Science course each semester, specified electives, and a five-week camp normally attended in the summer between the junior and senior years.

The Army offers two and three year scholarships both to students enrolled in the Military Science program and students who are willing to do so. Scholarships pay either $9,000 or $16,000 per year, a flat fee for books and materials, and a tax-free allowance of $150 per month during the regular school year.

In addition to these awards, Saint Peter’s College has several incentives in place for students who win ROTC scholarships, including free room in college housing. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and leadership potential.

The application period is early in the Spring semester for interested freshmen and sophomores.

ROTC: AIR FORCE RESERVE TRAINING CORPS

Saint Peter’s College students who wish to participate in the Air Force Reserve Training Corps may register for the required military courses at New Jersey Institute of Technology in order to earn appointments as commissioned officers in the United States Air Force.

The schedule of Air Force ROTC courses is listed in the Saint Peter’s College registration schedule for the Day Session. Saint Peter’s grants academic credit applicable towards graduation for successful completion of these courses.
