Quick facts
About this program
Panther Battalion (UNI) is University of Northern Iowa's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Army.
Panther Battalion (UNI) runs as a consortium for cadets from Wartburg College, Hawkeye Community College, and Upper Iowa University as well as University of Northern Iowa. Cross-town students typically retain their primary residency and academics at the home campus and route only military-side coursework through the host.
Cadets compete for the AROTC 4-Year National Scholarship as high-school seniors and the 3-Year Advanced board on contract. Minuteman seats route Reserve and National Guard contracts, and Green-to-Gold opens the door for prior-enlisted soldiers transitioning to officer. University of Northern Iowa cadets pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and history and the humanities drawing strong cohorts.
