Operation 24: High School Students Looking to Visit Marist ROTC 

Operation 24 is a program designed to allow prospective Cadets to experience what it is like to be an Army ROTC Cadet at Marist College. Students will spend 24 hours at Marist College and participate in Military Science Class, ROTC lab, physical training, campus social events, interview with professors in their intended academic major, and receive a briefing about the ROTC Scholarship process. Students will stay overnight with one of our Cadets.

An example schedule of Operation 24 is shown here:

Academic Credit

Junior (MSIII) and Senior (MSIV) year Cadets can receive 3 credits from the School of Management for Military Science Class each semester. Cadets must register and pay for these classes as they would any other course. Cadets may also take these courses without credit. In that case, registration and payment are not required.

There is no option to receive academic credit for Freshman and Sophomore year courses.

The Planned Academic Program Worksheet (CC Form 104-R) must be filled out and updated every semester by each cadet.

You can find the form on the Resources page.
