Qualified Otterbein students interested in obtaining an officer’s commission in the United States Air Force or Army may enroll in ROTC classes through cooperative agreements with nearby institutions The Ohio State University and Capital University. Air Force classes are held at Ohio State and Army classes are held at Capital. Training consists of a combination of classroom and outdoor instruction. Freshman and sophomore students may enroll in the four-year program consisting of the two year general military course and the two-year professional officer course. There is no military obligation for students in the first two years of the program.

ROTC credits from Capital and Ohio State may be transferred to Otterbein to help fulfill the total hours needed for a degree. These credits will be considered general electives and may not be substituted for any specific Otterbein courses including those in the core curriculum, major, minor, etc.

For additional information, contact The Ohio State University Air Force ROTC at 614-292-5441 or Capital University Army ROTC at 800-289-6289. Once enrollment is confirmed to you by Ohio State or Capital ROTC, come to the Otterbein Registrar’s Office to add the courses to your schedule. For ROTC scholarships, refer to the financial aid section of this catalog.
