Military Science
The Army ROTC program at Belmont Abbey College, which is an elective, is offered through the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This program emphasizes instruction in the development of leadership skills and managerial ability for young men and women, and provides an opportunity for those who qualify to serve their country as officers.
The Army ROTC program, primarily designed around a two-year Basic Course and a two-year Advanced Course, culminates in a commission in the active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Enrollment in the Basic Course does not obligate the student to military service. Students in the Advanced Course attend a summer camp between their junior and senior years, and receive a monthly stipend for ten months during each school year. Upon completion of the Advanced Course and graduation from Belmont Abbey College, a student will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Reserve. Course offerings and descriptions are available from the Registrar’s Office. Students interested in Army ROTC should contact the enrollment officer, Rick Nash for more information (704-687-8633).
Scholarships The Army ROTC Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to highly-qualified male and female students who are considering careers as officers. Students may qualify for two-, or three-year scholarships. All Army ROTC scholarships pay for full tuition and mandatory fees, books, and provides a monthly tax free stipend during the academic year.
