Department of Military Science
Commander’s Welcome

On behalf of the Provost’s Office at the University of Massachusetts, and the entire Cadre and Staff of the Department of Military Science, I would like to welcome you to University of Massachusetts University's Senior ROTC "Minuteman Battalion” website. As current and potential members of the Minuteman Battalion, you have already taken a positive step on the road to success by expressing an interest in our program. We look forward to helping you make ROTC, "The Smartest College Course You Can Take" while here at University of Massachusetts or at one of our Partner Schools.

As you negotiate your way around our website, you should be able to find most of the general information regarding our program. The website has been designed to answer any questions you may have. However, if you have any additional questions, or would like more information, please contact a member the Department of Military Science. Better yet, come on over to the Army ROTC Building and we can sit and discuss it in person! Ask yourself, "Do you want to be led into the next millennium, or would you rather be a leader of the next millennium?"

Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army
