Army ROTC at Presbyterian College is one of the best leadership training you can get on a college campus.

The Highlander Battalion Army ROTC is one of the oldest ROTC programs in the country with almost 100 years of history commissioning the future leaders of the United States Army. The Highlander Battalion Army ROTC is comprised of students from Presbyterian College, Lander University, and Newberry College and hosted by the Presbyterian College campus.

With the option for Cadets to major in any discipline, we have an academically diverse program that allows you to achieve your individual educational goal while earning your Army commission. Our program is unique in that we have direct access to Fort Jackson, SC giving our Cadets the opportunity to train at the Army’s premier training base using state-of-the-art facilities and ranges.
