About this program
Operating out of University of Arkansas, Razorback 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 Razorback.
Cadets from Northeastern State University, John Brown University, and NorthWest Arkansas Community College cross-enroll into Razorback Battalion on a typical once-per-week schedule, with leadership labs, PT, and Military Science classes held on the University of Arkansas campus.
Funding paths into this battalion include AROTC 4-Year National and AROTC 3-Year Advanced, with Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) also available. University of Arkansas's academic strengths in nursing and health professions and computer science and cybersecurity give contracted cadets flexible major options on either side of the technical/non-technical line.
