Quick facts
About this program
Operating out of Trinity College, Bantam Battalion commissions cadets into the U.S. Army under U.S. Army Cadet Command. Cadre and cadets commonly identify by the unit's nickname — the Bantam.
Cadets from University of Hartford, Central Connecticut State University, and Saint Joseph University cross-enroll into Bantam Battalion on a typical once-per-week schedule, with leadership labs, PT, and Military Science classes held on the Trinity College campus.
Funding paths into this battalion include AROTC 4-Year National and AROTC 3-Year Advanced, with Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) also available. Trinity College's academic strengths in nursing and health professions and business and political science give contracted cadets flexible major options on either side of the technical/non-technical line.
