SDSU Global Campus offers a unique Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program designed for eligible U.S. Army candidates from participating local colleges and universities outside of San Diego State University.

Our Mission

SDSU’s U.S. Army ROTC program trains student-cadets to become future officers in our armed forces. You’ll also acquire the skills you need to become a well-rounded leader in business, public administration, or any career field that you choose to pursue outside the armed forces.

How to Register

Starting fall 2022, we will be switching to a post-pay model, meaning you may enroll in classes without a payment required. You will need to submit your full payment through my.SDSU within 48 hours from the date of enrollment. Click here for more information.
