Quick facts
About this program
Army ROTC at North Carolina Central University runs as Eagle Battalion (NCCU), an officer-accessions battalion for the U.S. Army. North Carolina Central University is a historically Black college, and the unit commissions officers from a population the services have actively prioritized.
Partner schools — Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill, and Saint Augustine's University — 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 Eagle Battalion (NCCU) ride a national scholarship — AROTC 4-Year National for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. North Carolina Central University is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
