About this program
Headquartered on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Sun Devil Battalion is the local accession point into the U.S. Army.
Sister-school participation is a real piece of this battalion. Cadets from Grand Canyon University, Mesa Community College, Maricopa Community Colleges, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott contract through Sun Devil Battalion and travel to Arizona State University for the military-side requirements while keeping their core degree at the partner.
On the scholarship side: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) are all live channels at Sun Devil Battalion. Academically, Arizona State University is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
