University of Arkansas ARMY ROTC

Physical Fitness

As a scholarship/contracted Razorback Army ROTC cadet, you are required participate in Army physical fitness training ("PT") three days per week. Physical Fitness Training is offered nine times per week: MON thru FRI from 6:30-7:30 a.m. and Mon thru THUR from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. This is you can fit PT into your class schedule and pick the three PT days most convenient for you. What we know is that a strong body enables a strong mind. As a non-contracted freshman or sophomore cadet, you are not required to attend PT, but we highly encourage it. PT is much more than a means to physical fitness; it is a way to enjoy the camaraderie, esprit de corps and unit cohesion that makes being an Army leader so unique.

Academics

As a cadet, academics are your #1 priority. Your mission is to excel in school and earn your bachelors degree in 4 years. Our cadets are pursuing baccalaureate degrees in the full spectrum of academic disciplines - Engineering, Business, Economics, Government/Political Science, Nursing, English, etc. The breadth of academic disciplines within the Army officer corps adds to the diversity that makes the corps and our Army strong.

Leadership

As a student-leader, you are receiving leadership theory and knowledge in a classroom environment via your weekly ROTC class and you are practicing leadership in weekly labs and periodic field training. Cadets who enter the program as sophomores attend a 28 day Leader Training Course (LTC) at Ft. Knox, KY between their sophomore and junior years. Juniors attend "Warrior Forge", the 33-day ROTC Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) at Ft. Lewis, WA, between their Junior and Senior years. Cadets are paid for attending each course. Cadets are also provided the opportunity to attend a variety of Army skill courses like Airborne (Ft. Benning, GA), Air Assault (Ft. Campbell, KY), Mountain Warfare (Colorado) or Northern Warfare (Alaska). There is no other leadership institute or corporation in the world that provides the quality leader development experience that US Army ROTC provides. The Army assigns its best officers and NCOs to colleges and universities across America and to cadre positions at LTC and LDAC each summer to provide continuous teaching, coaching and mentoring of cadets.
