Quick facts
About this program
Trojan Battalion (Virginia State) is Virginia State University's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Army.
Trojan Battalion (Virginia State) runs as a consortium for cadets from Virginia Union University, Saint Paul's College, and Richard Bland College of William & Mary as well as Virginia State University. 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. Virginia State University cadets pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and engineering and physical sciences drawing strong cohorts.
