Hello from the campus of Niagara University and the Purple Eagle Battalion. We are located just minutes from scenic Niagara Falls, New York. A short drive north or south will bring you to Toronto, Ontario in Canada, or Buffalo, New York. These cities are well-known for their cultural, sporting, and entertainment events.

The ROTC program at Niagara University was recognized as the # 1 Army ROTC program in the nation out of 272 schools in 2004.  Although Cadet Command no longer nationally ranks programs, NU's ROTC program has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of all Army ROTC programs in the nation. When you think of ROTC programs, we are a perennial powerhouse. For an overview of our program click here.

Making ROTC part of your college curriculum is a smart choice. Army ROTC is a unique college elective that enhances your degree with leadership training and experience that no other college course can offer. Students can attend ROTC and receive credit toward their degree without incurring any military obligation.

For those students who choose to pursue a military career in either the active army or reserve component, scholarships are available. For more information on scholarships, check out Scholarships & Financial Incentives.

In a few short years you will be competing for a job with thousands of other potential applicants with the same or similar degree. Set yourself apart from the crowd with the leadership abilities and team-building skills that ROTC provides. Show future employers that you have real-life experience dealing with people and solving problems and that you can work and lead in a team-oriented environment. AND - if you are serious about becoming an Army Officer, why not go to the best program in the nation?
