Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Programs at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland
Stevenson University offers the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University's Blue Jay Battalion. The JHU Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) was among the first to be established by Congress in 1916 and is routinely ranked at the top of the nation’s 273 programs. More than 3,000 students have received Army officer commissions through the program, with over 40 attaining the rank of general officer. Students can enter the program with as little as two years remaining as an undergraduate or may complete the requirements while pursuing a graduate degree. Upon graduation, students are commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Some are selected to attend a funded law school or several medical programs, while others serve in the active Army, the Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard. ROTC basic classes are open to all students. The Leadership and Management class specializes in leader development and is an excellent course for students aspiring to become leaders on campus and beyond. Additional information on military science or ROTC can be obtained by asking a current cadet, and by calling 1-800-JHU-ROTC or 410-516-7474. You can also email rotc@jhu.edu or visit the JHU ROTC website at jhu.edu/rotc. Students from Stevenson University who participate in the Johns Hopkins ROTC program are able to do it at no cost for tuition for classes since SU and JHU ROTC are members of the Baltimore Student Exchange Program (BSEP).
Students interested in Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (AFROTC) may participate with the University of Maryland’s Det 330 program. AFROTC provides students the opportunity to earn a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force while completing their undergraduate or graduate degree. It is highly recommended that students seeking a commission contact the AFROTC department for full program details before registering for classes. The email address is afrotcdet330@umd.edu. Students may call (301) 314-3242, or visit the Det 330 website at afrotc.umd.edu. Please note the University of Maryland is not a member of the BSEP program; therefore there are charges for this program with the University of Maryland.
