| The ROTC Basic Course consists of four distinct semesters.
The Basic Course is structured as a single, progressive course. Upon
successful completion of the Basic Course, cadets may transfer 12
credits to one of the 273 Universities throughout the United States
offering a commission in the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant.
The American Samoa Community College is a partnership school with
the University of Hawaii ROTC program. The program offers elective
credit towards an associates or bachelors degree. The ROTC program
does not lead to any degree in Military Science. Academic performance
in core curriculum should be the main focus of cadets. Cadets must
be pursuing an associates degree in any of the majors offered at American
Samoa Community College. Cadets must complete a bachelors degree in
any major except Theology before they contract to enroll in the Advanced
Course at one of the 273 ROTC universities in order to earn a commission
as a Second Lieutenant. The Advanced Course is the third and fourth
year of instruction, which is not offered at American Samoa Community
College. Scholarships are available to students transferring to one
of the 273 Universities offering ROTC. Transfer students who qualify
may be offered four, three or two-year scholarships, depending on
their academic alignment. |
