The Holy Angel University Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (HAU ROTC) opens its doors to students who aspire to develop leadership, discipline, and a deep sense of service to the nation.

As one of the three components of the National Service Training Program (NSTP), ROTC provides military-oriented education and training designed to prepare students for leadership, civic responsibility, disaster preparedness, and national defense readiness. Through various activities and training exercises, cadets gain valuable life skills while building character, confidence, and camaraderie.

For those who seek greater challenges and opportunities, the Cadet Officer Qualifying Course (COQC) serves as the gateway to cadet officership. This specialized training program equips aspiring cadet officers with advanced leadership knowledge, military skills, and the competence necessary to lead and inspire fellow cadets. Successful completion of the program marks the beginning of a cadet's journey toward becoming a future leader within the Corps of Cadets.

Whether you are looking to grow as an individual, serve your community, or prepare yourself for greater responsibilities, HAU ROTC and COQC offer opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.

Step forward. Accept the challenge. Lead with purpose.

"The future depends on what you do today. Leadership begins with the courage to take the first step."
