Reserve officers' training corps

The reserve officers' training corps, or ROTC, was an alternate method of attaining commissioned officer status in some nations' military services. It incorporated military training into a standard degree program at a civilian university.

Under an ROTC program, officer candidates received a competitive merit-based scholarship to the university, covering some or all of their tuition and costs, in exchange for an obligation of military service upon graduation.

The Federation Starfleet operated an ROTC program as an alternative to Starfleet Academy. (Bait and Switch; )
