Quick facts
About this program
Run by cadre at University of Washington, Husky Battalion (UW) is the Army ROTC battalion for Seattle and surrounding Washington. Cadets and alumni use the unit's nickname, the Husky, on guidons and class shirts.
Cross-town agreements bring Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University, Pacific Lutheran University, and Saint Martin's University into the battalion's footprint. Most cross-town cadets keep their primary academics at the partner school and travel to University of Washington for ROTC class and lab.
The battalion runs all standard Army ROTC scholarship channels: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard). Major-wise, cadets here cluster around engineering and physical sciences and history and the humanities, with cadre encouraging technical degrees where the cadet's career interests fit.
