ROTC Courses

Students who wish to earn appointments as commissioned officers in the United States Army or Air Force may participate in the general military and professional officer courses at the University of Texas at Arlington (Army) or the University of North Texas  (Air Force). All credits earned in ROTC programs may be counted as electives toward the undergraduate degree, but they do not satisfy core or major requirements. A Leadership Concentration is available for ROTC students.

The courses for each student year are offered at specific times on their respective Universities, therefore the student’s schedule needs to be centered around them. If conflicts arise between the ROTC classes and the University of Dallas’s classes a compromise can be made between the two academic departments. Also, you can consult the listing in the bulletin and course schedules under ROTC courses.
