About this program
Run by cadre at University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Spartan Battalion (UNCG) is the Army ROTC battalion for North Carolina and surrounding North Carolina. Cadets and alumni use the unit's nickname, the Spartan, on guidons and class shirts.

The battalion runs all standard Army ROTC scholarship channels: AROTC 4-Year National, AROTC 3-Year Advanced, Minuteman (Reserve/Guard).
