Army ROTC
Under an agreement between Washburn University, the University of Kansas,
and the U.S. Army, Washburn students may participate in Army ROTC classes
taught at Washburn by KU faculty. The culmination of the ROTC program
is a commission as an officer in either the active army or in the Army
Reserve or National Guard. Students simultaneously pursue an academic
degree in any academic major of their choice. ROTC classes are broken
into a basic course and an advanced course. All necessary ROTC books and
equipment are provided to the student free of charge. Army ROTC awards
four-year, three-year, and two- year scholarships to students on campus.
These scholarships are competitive and pay tuition, books, university
fees, and $1,500 a year. Classes are enrolled through the University of
Kansas. All credit can be transferred to Washburn University. For detailed
information contact Captain Ronald Tucker of the KU Military Science Department
by calling collect at 785-864-3311 or call the WU Army ROTC office in

Air Force ROTC

they may be offered at Washburn if a scheduling conflict exists. The student
