ROTC Enrollment on the Rise Across U.S, Army Reports
FOXNews.com
After
being shunned by scores of colleges across the country for more than 40
years, the U.S. Army's ROTC program is making a comeback.
Roughly 32,000 cadets are currently enrolled in the Reserve Officer
Training Corps on the university level -- a modest, yet notable,
increase from previous years, says Lt. Col. Michael Indovina, chief
public affairs officer with the U.S. Army Cadet Command. He said the
program had 30,721 cadets a year ago and 28,489 the year before.
About 273 colleges and universities currently host the 200-year-old
ROTC program, which often covers a student's full tuition in exchange
for a fixed period of active and inactive military service after
graduation.
