Welcome to Military Science    

Army ROTC is an excellent career opportunity for individuals with the desire to learn leadership and organizational skills that will serve them throughout life. With the rising costs of education, ROTC offers excellent scholarship opportunities for young men and women. My goal at UTEP is to make Army ROTC as visible and accessible as possible while creating a culture of excellence to offer the best possible environment for cadets/students to train and develop.  I see each Military Science faculty member as a "Career Counselor" assisting cadets/students navigate their way through the challenges of College Life. Our learning focus is on "Officership," and we will continue to produce quality men and women as Second Lieutenants into the best Army in the World.
