College of Leadership and Military Studies
The College of Leadership and Military Studies provides a living-learning leadership experience for Tarleton students who want to prepare themselves for future leadership roles in the Armed Forces or agency, or defense related industry. Students live together on the Stephenville campus, practice the toughest leadership challenges -- leading their peers -- and participate in a range of activities on campus and in the local community.
The College of Leadership and Military Studies is comprised of the Department of Leadership and Strategic Studies, the Corps of Cadets, Army ROTC, and Air Force ROTC that is made available through a Cross-Town Program with Air Force ROTC at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth.
Students who participate in Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC are members of the Corps of Cadets. Students may also participate in the Corps of Cadets' civilian leadership track, Texan Leaders, without any obligation to serve in the military upon graduation.
If you are looking for a challenge and want to belong to a visible student group steeped in Tarleton's history, check out our programs and courses. We would love to give you a tour and connect you to current cadets to get the cadet perspective on whichever program you are considering.
