ARMY ROTC Commander and Professor: LTC Michael Smith

Although the University of St. Thomas does not have an Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program on campus, students may participate in the Army ROTC program through a partnership with the Military Science Department at the University of Houston. Students may enroll in military science courses through the University St. Thomas registration process and attend the classes at the University of Houston’s main campus.

Students enrolled in the advanced program (junior and senior years) receive a $450–$500 monthly allowance; veterans classified as juniors or seniors may enroll directly in the advanced program. Paid internships are available to students who have earned at least 54 credit hours but have no military experience. Students who complete the internship are eligible for a two–year scholarship. These scholarships pay for full tuition and fees, books, and provide a monthly allowance of $450.

Upon completion of the ROTC program and graduation from the University of St. Thomas, students are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army. A minor is also available in this program.
