"Green to Gold"

Soldiers currently serving in the US Army also have opportunities to partake in the Army ROTC program. One option is the “Green to Gold” option. This option allows soldiers to earn a baccalaureate degree and commission as a second lieutenant. More information can be found at the following link. "Green to Gold".

Leader's Training Course

The Leader's Training Course (LTC) is the Army’s premier 2-year ROTC Program entry point for college sophomores. Through the Leader's Training Course, students without ROTC Basic Course experience can examine the Army without incurring an obligation, and qualify for Advanced Course entry. The Army observes these students and determines their officer potential in a leadership oriented, challenging, and motivating 4-week (28 Days) training program at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
