Quick facts
About this program
Army ROTC at Clarkson University runs as Mohawk Battalion, an officer-accessions battalion for the U.S. Army.
Partner schools — Saint Lawrence University, SUNY Potsdam, and SUNY Canton — round out the corps. The battalion runs one training schedule for the consortium, so a cross-town cadet sees the same cadre and contracting boards as a host-school student.
Most contracted cadets at Mohawk Battalion ride a national scholarship — AROTC 4-Year National for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. Clarkson University is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
