Welcome Prospective Students

Welcome to our site – and to a world of tremendous opportunities

Army ROTC is often called “one of the best leadership courses in America.” When you consider all that UVa-Wise’s ROTC program has to offer, you’ll find it hard to argue with that statement. Practical, hands-on leadership training, team building and problem solving skills development, the opportunity to have the Army pay for college, and a commission when you graduate . . . it doesn’t get much better!

At UVa-Wise, you’ll join a team that’s committed to your success – both here at school and in the future. You’ll be surrounded by an outstanding group of students (“Cadets”) and faculty (“cadre”) who share similar goals and who will help you achieve yours. This past year, one of our Cadets was ranked among the top 25 of all senior Cadets in the entire nation, and nearly all of our seniors received their choice of duty after college. Our cadre have significant operational experience in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places around the world; they’re experts at sharing that experience with our Cadets and truly enjoy doing so.

We’re looking for young men and women who want to excel, serve others, and make a positive difference. Does that sound like you? Visit or contact us to find out more.
