About this program
Pointer Battalion is University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Army.
Pointer Battalion runs as a consortium for cadets from University of Wisconsin–Stout, University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, and Mid-State Technical College as well as University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point. 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 Wisconsin–Stevens Point cadets pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and history and the humanities drawing strong cohorts.
