Academics

A cross-enrollment agreement between Bradley University and Illinois State University (ISU) makes training in the Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (AROTC) available to qualified Bradley students who desire to earn appointment as commissioned officers in the United States Army. The goal of the AROTC is to commission college graduates into the Active, National Guard, and Reserve components of the Army. Military science classes are conducted on Bradley University's campus in Peoria, Illinois and at ISU. Military science classes are recorded on students’ transcripts, and the grades received and semester hours of credit are counted as if they had been taken at Bradley. For more information, please contact the Registrar’s Office at (309) 677-3101.
