UT-Arlington has a very long and prestigious military lineage and supports the ROTC program whole heartily. The University actually started as Carlisle Military Academy in 1902, and is one of the best ROTC Programs in Cadet Command. In fact for the last 4 years in row our cadets were nationally ranked in the top 20 of the nation (#7, #3, #2, #17 ) out of the over 5,000 cadets commissioned per year. UTA is an excellent academic institution and is nationally recognized for many of its programs.
Our partnership schools are University of Dallas, University of Texas at Dallas, Southern Methodist University, Dallas Baptist University, Texas A&M at Commerce, all the Tarrant County Community Colleges and all of the Dallas County Community Colleges. Which means you can do your regular academic work at the partnership school and drive over to UTA for the ROTC classes on Thursday.
