About this program
Headquartered on the University of Detroit Mercy campus in Detroit, Titan Battalion is the local accession point into the U.S. Army.

On the scholarship side: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard) are all live channels at Titan Battalion. Academically, University of Detroit Mercy is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
