Cadets in CU’s Comanche Battalion must meet rigorous physical fitness demands, achieve satisfactory evaluations in leadership skills, support the community through various service-related activities, and, as seniors, serve as mentors to the junior class members, all while maintaining a minimum overall GPA of 2.0, a 3.0 in military science, and a 3.2 or above for competitive active duty positions.
For students seeking leadership skills, service opportunities, or a career in the military (active duty or reserve), Cameron University’s ROTC program provides the pathway to achieving those goals.
