About this program

Headquartered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus in Massachusetts, Engineer Battalion (MIT) is the local accession point into the U.S. Army.

Sister-school participation is a real piece of this battalion. Cadets from Harvard University, Boston University, and Wellesley College contract through Engineer Battalion (MIT) and travel to Massachusetts Institute of Technology 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 Engineer Battalion (MIT). Academically, Massachusetts Institute of Technology is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
