Division of Military Education |
The Boston University Division of Military Education is a four-year program of instruction that provides college-trained officers for the Armed Forces. Students in ROTC programs gain hands-on leadership training that develops self-discipline, physical stamina, and poise; builds strong bonds of team spirit and camaraderie; and prepares students for commissions in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps and success in any career.
The Division of Military Education at Boston University is rich in tradition and known for its high standards. In 1993, the BU Army ROTC was awarded the Douglas MacArthur Award, which is given to the most outstanding Army ROTC program at a large university in the nation. In 1994, the BU Air Force ROTC program was awarded the USAF High Flight Award for most outstanding Air Force program in the northeast region and was recognized as one of the four most outstanding programs in the nation.
With the exception of the years 1970 to 1980, the Reserve Officer's Training Corps has been an integral part of the academic community. ROTC has been an important part of Boston University's history since 1919, when the Student's Army Training Corps was founded. Boston University is one of only a handful of colleges and universities nationwide offering its students ROTC programs in all four services: Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.
