About this program
Headquartered on the Marshall University campus in Huntington, Tiger Battalion (Marshall) is the local accession point into the U.S. Army.
Sister-school participation is a real piece of this battalion. Cadets from West Virginia State University and University of Charleston contract through Tiger Battalion (Marshall) and travel to Marshall University for the military-side requirements while keeping their core degree at the partner.
On the scholarship side: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) are all live channels at Tiger Battalion (Marshall). Academically, Marshall University is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
