Cadet Life
Cadets in the Fighting Irish Battalion come from all across the country with the goal to graduate as commissioned officers in the Army upon graduation. During school, they pursue a wide range of majors and participate in numerous extra-curricular activities. In the program, we have members of varsity, club, and intramural sports along with academic and special interest clubs. Members of the Fighting Irish Battalion are academically focused, physically fit, goal-oriented and dedicated to future service to the nation and others. During their senior year, Cadets receive their branch of service identifying their military specialty.
Cadet life is geared towards preparing future leads to represent themselves and the nation with honor, while simultaneously allowing them to enjoy their time as college students.

“Army ROTC has enabled me to forge life-long relationships while teaching me the incredible skills necessary to be the best leader I can be in my military career and beyond”
“The culture of the Fighting Irish Battalion is seriously special. I am grateful every day for my battle buddies who constantly support me, look out for me, and challenge me to the best I can be in all aspects of my life.”
