UNI ROTC Opportunities

The UNI ROTC BN oversees the ROTC program at the University of Dubuque and cross-town partner Loras College in eastern Iowa. Students from these two schools join UNI cadets several times a year to conduct training.

For UNI students looking to finish their education at Allen College, UNI ROTC has a strong working relationship with Allen and ROTC offers many opportunities for students considering a career as an Army Nurse.

UNI Military Science classes are also available to students at Hawkeye Community College who are considering transferring to UNI to finish their degree. It is a great opportunity to get familiar with the campus and start getting to know other students on campus.

If you are interested in a career in the Army please contact UNI-ROTC Scholarship and Enrollment Officer, to find out what benefits and scholarships are available to help you achieve your education and career goals.
