About this program

Operating out of University of Utah, Ute 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 Ute.

Cadets from Westminster University, Salt Lake Community College, and Weber State University cross-enroll into Ute Battalion on a typical once-per-week schedule, with leadership labs, PT, and Military Science classes held on the University of Utah campus.

Funding paths into this battalion include AROTC 4-Year National and AROTC 3-Year Advanced, with Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) also available. University of Utah'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.
