Campbell’s Washington campus and students may earn up to 16 semester
hours of credit toward their degree. By exploring public policy issues
in the light of biblical truth and working in internships which help

Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC)
Professor of Military Science: LTC
Campagna (Chair)
Assistant Professors: LTC Reese, CPT Psaltis, CPT Collins, CPT
Smith
Instructor: MSG Parker
Objectives
The objective of Campbell University’s ROTC Program is to motivate and
prepare selected students to serve as leaders in the U.S. Army. The
course of instruction provides a practical understanding of the concepts
and principles of military science and aids in developing a strong sense
of duty, honor, country, and citizenship. Our program promotes
individual fitness as well as teamwork and provides numerous leadership
opportunities. Students will also gain an understanding of and
appreciation for international relations and national security.
Attainment of these objectives prepares students for commissioning and
establishes a solid foundation for their professional development and
effective performance in the uniformed services or in civilian
enterprise.
Scope
The Army ROTC Program is
progressive in nature and is composed of a Basic and Advanced Course.
Enrollment in the Basic Course is open to all full time freshmen and
sophomores. Completion of the Basic Course is a prerequisite for
Advanced Course application. A student who enrolls in the Basic Course
does not incur any obligation to serve in the Army. Prior military
science or high school JROTC experience may result in direct Advanced
Course placement. Entrance into the Advanced Course is selective and is
based upon demonstrated performance and leadership potential. Students
who satisfactorily complete the Advanced Course are commissioned Second
Lieutenants upon graduation.
