I am currently considering officer school as well as going back to school for a master’s degree. I am curious if there is a way to combine the two in two birds, one stone way. Has anyone ever done so? Thank you in advance

Yes you can pursue a master’s degree via ROTC. Contact the Recruiting and Enrollment Officer at the school you wish to attend.

It's there for you. Like 1LT (Join to see) mentioned, contact the REO stationed at the school you want to attend. Go for it SPC (Join to see)!

Yes and I saw two examples with this past commissioning class. Had a friend start rotc freshman year and completed a fast race masters degree in accounting in 4 years while in rotc. Had another fraternity brother that already had his 4 year and came to our university to do his masters (joined the MS-3 or junior class and graduated with them the following year)

Is ROTC available for Master Programs or is it just undergrads?

Yes you can! I have one piece of advice for you though. Take advantage of that time as you’ve already met all academic requirements, except the MS classes. Focus on PT, Land NAV, and TLPs. You don’t have to earn your Masters while you’re enrolled, but you have to remain full time. Good luck!

A few of the people in my commissioning class were graduate students. It’s possibly. Like LT Ford stated, contact the recruiting officer at your university and they’ll guide you through the process.

Yes, you can do a 2-year ROTC Masters program. There are actually 2-year scholarships available for Soldiers to earn. The caveat is that the Army will commission upon completion of the ROTC curriculum whether or not you complete your Masters. That is because the commissioning requirement is a Bachelor's degree. You also need to be enrolled at a school that has an ROTC program or is affiliated with one.
