Quick facts
About this program
Headquartered on the Susquehanna University campus in Pennsylvania, Crusader Battalion is the local accession point into the U.S. Army.
Sister-school participation is a real piece of this battalion. Cadets from Bucknell University and Lycoming College contract through Crusader Battalion and travel to Susquehanna 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 Crusader Battalion. Academically, Susquehanna University is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
