According to DSC's Department of Military Science Army ROTC Training Officer Captain Collin M. Wallace, DSC's ROTC program can provide a lot of scholarship money to interested students. He added that prospective students may take up to two years of classes with no military obligation. However, students that do commit to the military will be obligated to either six years of military service in the Reserves or four years of active duty.
To qualify, students must carry a minimum 2.5 GPA and pass a medical physical. For more information about the DSC ROTC program, contact Captain Wallace at 435-652-7723 or at collin.wallace@us.army.mil.
