Rotc

<p>I searched for Penn's ROTC program, and it seems that they only have the NavyROTC program. Can you guys verify this?</p>

<p>Additionally, why aren't there other ROTC programs? (Army, AF, etc)</p>

<p>They definitely have NROTC, I got the scholarship for the Penn unit. I'm not sure why they don't have any others though.</p>

<p>They do the other ROTC programs with Drexel and some other school..</p>

<p>"The Task Force Dragon Army ROTC program is coordinated out of Drexel University for the following "partnership" schools: the University of Pennsylvania, La Salle University, St. Joseph’s University, Rowan University, Rutgers University-Camden, and the University of the Sciences - as well as many other colleges and universities in the Greater Philadelphia area." @ [Homepage[/url</a>]</p>

<p>And air force is at St. Joseph's [url=<a href="http://www.sju.edu/academics/cas/afrotc/prospectivecadets.html%5DSJU:"&gt;http://www.sju.edu/academics/cas/afrotc/prospectivecadets.html]SJU:&lt;/a> CAS - Air Force ROTC - Prospective Cadets](<a href="http://www.drexel.edu/depts/rotc/index.html%5DHomepage%5B/url"&gt;http://www.drexel.edu/depts/rotc/index.html)&lt;/p>

<p>Are there other universities that provide this type of consortium? (not in the Philadelphia region obviously)
<em>Edit - It seems Yale, Sacred Heart, etc. seem to have a similar program. Any others?</em></p>

<p>I posted a question similar to the following on another thread but this one seems to be eliciting an actual response, so I'll re-ask. Does applying for ROTC in any way negatively affect your application to the university? This is probably anecdotal, but it seems to me the armed forces are slightly taboo now-a-days.</p>

<p>I don't have anymore knowledge on this subject.. I just knew about the shared programs somehow.... comes from obsessing too much over Penn I guess.</p>

<p>I can't speak for the other ROTCs but NROTC has several different units with crosstown colleges participating. The full list of schools can be found on their website <a href="https://www.nrotc.navy.mil%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www.nrotc.navy.mil&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>As for a negative effect on admissions, I certainly hope not, it should have an opposite effect IMO. Political views aside, the military is almost always looked upon positively, and promote great discipline and responsibility. If that is a turnoff to a University that is rather sad.</p>
