About this program
Army ROTC at University of Central Missouri runs as Mule Battalion, an officer-accessions battalion for the U.S. Army.
Partner schools — Central Methodist University, William Jewell College, and Missouri Valley College — 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 Mule Battalion ride a national scholarship — AROTC 4-Year National for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. University of Central Missouri is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
