Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today
Scientists and teachers, business leaders and policy makers, and officers for the US Army. USM and its Army ROTC program prepare students to be innovators and leaders for the 21st century. We produce lieutenants for the active Army, the National Guard, and the US Army Reserves.

Warriors wanted, each with a breadth of perspective who:
- Demonstrate a capacity for excellence

- Committed to the Army for the duration and open-minded about further service
