Army ROTC Mission

The U.S. Army Cadet Command is dedicated to the selection, education, training, and
commissioning of college students, molding them into officers and exemplary leaders
for the Total Army. We emphasize the core values of citizenship, national and community
service, personal responsibility, and instill a profound sense of accomplishment in
college students.
At Chicago State University, we firmly believe that leadership is a cornerstone skill
that top-tier employers actively seek in their prospective hires. While numerous academic
disciplines delve into leadership courses, they predominantly focus on its theoretical
dimensions. Acknowledging the significance of theoretical grounding, our CSU Army
ROTC program elevates this foundation by integrating rigorous, hands-on leadership
experiences. As our students transition to graduation, they emerge not just prepared
to spearhead teams in their chosen professions, but also possess the prowess to lead
and inspire Soldiers within the United States Army.
