Op 24 is a program designed to allow prospective Cadets to experience a day in the life of an Army ROTC Cadet at Marist College. Students will spend 24 hours at Marist College and participate in MS Class, ROTC lab, PT, campus social events, and receive a briefing about the ROTC Scholarship process. Students will stay overnight with one of our Cadets.

Academic Credit

There is no option to receive academic credit for Freshman and Sophomore year courses.  However, Junior (MSIII) and Senior (MSIV) Cadets can receive 3 credits for their Military Science class each semester. Cadets must register and pay for these classes as they would any other course, however they are not required to.  Cadets may also take these courses without credit.

All ROTC cadets must maintain status as a full time student by taking a minimum of 12 credits each semester.
