History of the Charles River Battalion
Military education at Boston University dates back to World War I when the
Student’s Army Training corps was established. Units have been on campus
since 1919, with the exception of a ten-year period during the 1970s.
Army ROTC’s presence at Boston University resumed in 1980 when it was accorded
recognition as a host detachment. More then three thousand military
officers have received degrees from Boston University. Some two thousand
one hundred officers have been commissioned through Boston University’s Army
ROTC program.
