Military Officer Education Programs
The University of Michigan, in cooperation with the armed services of the United States, provides an opportunity for all eligible male and female students to earn a commission in any of the three services (Army; Navy, including Marine Corps; and Air Force) upon completion of the degree requirement. This opportunity is available through enrollment in the Military Officer Education Program (MOEP), which is known nationally as the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC).
All three officer education programs (Army, Navy, and Air Force) offer four- and two-year program options, financial benefits, and scholarship opportunities. Minor variations, however, do exist among the programs, and students should consult the specific information under the respective program.
All students enrolled in advanced (junior and senior year) officer education courses, whether or not on scholarship, receive a monthly stipend of $200 for the academic year. A uniform and the necessary books and equipment are furnished to all students. In addition, pay and travel allowances are provided for attendance at summer field training courses.
In addition to the financial benefits provided for all students enrolled in the advanced courses, a limited number of two-, three-, and four-year merit-based scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis by each of the Officer Education Programs. These scholarships provide tuition, laboratory fees, payment for required books, and a monthly stipend.
Officer education courses are also open to University students not enrolled in the program by permission of the instructor.
