Teaching The Leaders Of Tomorrow

The Titan Battalion is a 2005 recipient of the General Douglas MacArthur award for being the Top Bn in the small school division in all of the Western Region-US Army Cadet Command. The GDMA award is given to Army ROTC units that excel in recruiting, retention, training, Cadet performance and commissioning rates. 

California State University Fullerton is proud to have Army ROTC on campus. Together, the university and the ROTC "Titan Battalion" are responsible for providing the quality officer leadership needed to lead the Army into the next century.

Army ROTC is a college elective course you can take that could give you a real advantage when combined with your college education and diploma. It's a course that not only teaches you the principles of management, but also gives you the opportunity to lead. It's a course that tells future employers that you've had real-life experience handling people and solving problems….that you are goal orientated…..and that you've been trained to work with a team, and to lead a team.

You'll learn skills you would expect to find in an Army officer including how to motivate co-workers, cope with the unexpected, and organize large, complex tasks. But you'll also learn skills in demand today in the civilian and business world such as teamwork, tact, and effective communication. You'll learn from experience from Army officers and noncommissioned officers and, in time, help pass on what you've learned to newer students as well. In other words, you'll learn how to take charge…take command…and take the lead!

This is your chance to add muscle to your college career. No matter what your major, ROTC gives you the confidence and experience needed to be a success in college and beyond.

If you successfully complete the Army ROTC program along with your other academic studies, you'll graduate with a diploma and a commission as a Second Lieutenant. That's when you'll begin military service in the U.S. Army.

Wearing the bar of a Second Lieutenant sets you apart. It stands for intelligence, integrity, courage and the will to succeed. Above all, it signifies that you're an accomplished leader and an Officer of the United States Army, an Army of One.

Whether you're leading a group of Soldiers or heading a major corporation later on, a commissioned Officer of the U.S. Army is an honor. Being an Officer means you have the skills to succeed and to accomplish any task. Throughout your life, you'll inspire others, accept challenge and command respect. And you'll know what it means to be the BEST.

Upon pinning the Goldbars, you may serve full-time on Active Duty, or you may serve part-time in either the U.S. Army Reserve or the Army National Guard. In a reserve component, you'll provide critical support to the regular Army, the most respected and most powerful, ground force in the world. But no matter which way you serve, service to the nation as a commissioned Officer is an honor and a privilege.

The Military Science Program at Cal State Fullerton has successfully prepared young men and women to accept commissions as Officers in the US Army for decades.  Read More…
