Concordia offers ROTC opportunities for both Army and Air Force. Both programs meet at nearby campuses—Army at Fordham University, Air Force at Manhattan College.

Army—Leadership That Lasts a Lifetime
Army ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required Concordia program of study. It provides you the tools, training, and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition. Because Army ROTC is an elective, you can participate your freshman and sophomore years without any obligation to join the Army. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be commissioned as an Officer in the Army.

For additional information, visit the Fordham Army ROTC website and contact the NYC Army ROTC Enrollment Counselors at arotcenroll@fordham.edu or call 718.817.4098.

Air Force ROTC
It’s a challenge. It’s an opportunity. It’s a head-start on a lifetime of success, within the Air Force and in everything you choose to do. Air Force ROTC is a college program offered at over 1,000 colleges and universities across the U.S. that prepares you to become an Air Force officer and gives you the opportunity to earn a scholarship. Concordia College is linked by a formal agreement with Manhattan College and its Air Force ROTC unit that permits students to enroll in the AFROTC program.

AFROTC cadets lead essentially the same campus life as other undergraduates. They make their own arrangements for college enrollment, room and board, pursue studies leading to a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and may take part in any extracurricular activities that do not interfere with their AFROTC requirements. Cadets wear their uniforms one day per week during the academic year and during professional military training periods: academic classes, official summer programs, summer field training, and base visits.

Those interested in the Air Force ROTC program and scholarships should contact the Unit Admissions Officer by calling 718.862.7201.  Visit the Manhattan College AFROTC website or the national AFROTC website for more information.
