Simultaneous Membership Program

The basic idea of the Simultaneous Membership Program is that it allows you to combine service in the Army National Guard or Army Reserve with college ROTC. When you graduate, you'll be commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the National Guard or Reserve. If you qualify and a vacancy is available, you enlist in an Army Guard or Reserve unit and attend basic training.

With the approval of the Professor of Military Science (PMS), the SMP will enable you to enroll in the ROTC Advanced Course at your college. You attend a few hours of ROTC instruction each week, and train with your Guard or Reserve unit one weekend a month and two weeks during the summer. Between your junior and senior year in Army ROTC, you will attend The National Advanced Leadership Camp.

If you are already a member of the Army National Guard or Reserve, you may apply for SMP through your commanding officer.

If you have already completed one or two years of college, you can still enter the program and take advantage of its benefits for your remaining two or three undergraduate years
