The Gonzaga University Army ROTC program is an intensive leadership development program that trains and commissions future officer leadership of the United States Army.

The foundation of our program is precision recruitment of quality students, young men and women who have proven to have strong character and demonstrate great potential to lead the finest Soldiers in the world.  The Bulldog Battalion takes these students and develops them physically, intellectually, and emotionally as ROTC cadets. This development takes place over the course of their undergraduate time at Gonzaga, through a combination of challenging physical fitness training, engaging classroom learning, and practical application of leadership skills in a wide range of environments and scenarios. Our cadets are placed in leadership roles from their first semester and will fill a myriad of positions of responsibility throughout their time in the program.

Once all graduation requirements have been met, cadets will receive an officer’s commission in the United States Army. Many will serve on active duty, some will serve in the Army National Guard or Army Reserve in a part-time capacity, but all will be Leaders.

If you are committed to earning a degree from the prestigious Gonzaga University and are interested in serving your country, I encourage you to give us a call. Let’s see if you have what it takes to join our team; and find out why Army ROTC at Gonzaga University is the smartest course you can take.
