Belhaven University offers students the opportunity to participate in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) for both the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force.
ROTC programs are offered to Jackson-area college and university students with credit being earned at the student's home institution. Scholarship opportunities are available to students who participate.
Air Force ROTC
Students enrolled in Air Force ROTC attend Belhaven University as a regular student. AFROTC activities include attending class and one leadership lab per week at Jackson State University. Students commission as Officers in the United States Air Force when completed with the program. The AFROTC program is an excellent way to enjoy the college experience and prepare to serve your country at the same time.
A variety of scholarships are available for participating students. More information is available at http://www.afrotc.com

Army ROTC
Army ROTC takes no more of your time than other college courses and counts as credit toward your college diploma. You can take entry level ROTC courses without making any commitment to the military. In Army ROTC, you'll do stuff that will challenge you both mentally and physically. As you find yourself rappelling from cliffs or leading your team through various obstacles, you'll develop skills you can use throughout your entire life and career. Skills like thinking on your feet, taking charge and making smart decisions.
