MSU NURSING DEPARTMENT

If nursing is your professional goal, there is no better place to begin your career than Army ROTC. Army ROTC offers you a unique opportunity to gain practical experience while you receive financial assistance for college. Nursing majors compete for 2, 3, and 4 year scholarships.

ROTC enhances your undergraduate nursing education by providing unique leadership and management training, along with the practical experience needed for success either in the Army or a civilian career. You will develop professional skills while you learning meaningful things about yourself and what you can accomplish!

As a ROTC nurse cadet, you will be able to combine college electives in military science and invaluable nurse summer training experience with your regular nursing program. You will develop your professional skills while you learn some meaningful things about yourself and what you can accomplish.

Book Allowance- Presently, the book allowance is at $1200 per year. For nurse cadets the total book allowance is paid at the beginning of the Fall semester.
