About this program
Army ROTC at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University runs as Eagle Battalion (Embry-Riddle), an officer-accessions battalion for the U.S. Army.
Partner schools — Bethune-Cookman University, Daytona State College, and Stetson University — round out the corps. The battalion runs one training schedule for the consortium, so a cross-town cadet sees the same cadre and contracting boards as a host-school student.
Most contracted cadets at Eagle Battalion (Embry-Riddle) ride a national scholarship — AROTC 4-Year National for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
