How to Enroll

Initial Enrollment

Feel free to drop by our office at McMechen Hall located on the 1st Floor or call LTC Knauss at 910-850-7403 or MSG Sims at 407-617-5623. Our core business hours are Monday thru Friday 9AM to 5PM for any questions or help with enrollment.  We will need to meet with you first and discuss options and your plan before we will allow you to enroll into a military science course.  

We want you to be fully informed when you join MSU Army ROTC.  Ultimately, we are an academic program that provides you an immediate professional career as an Army Officer upon graduation. We understand that in many cases young men and women come to the Department of Military Science to try and find funding to pursue a degree at Morgan State University or Coppin State University. We want you to be fully informed upfront so you understand that in most cases funding you may receive has contractual conditions attached to it and if you sign a contract, receive funds, and do not meet the contractual obligations that those funds may be fully recovered by the Federal Government.

Snapshot in History

Karim Njoya (Class of 2026), Dirichi Nwanegwo (Class of 2026), and Deandre Wright (Class of 2028) serve as the Color Guard and lead the Bear Battalion's march during Baltimore's Veterans Day Parade. All three serve part-time in the Maryland Army National Guard while attending Morgan State University and ROTC. Joining Morgan State ROTC is not just about joining the Army. It is the forge within which young adults become leaders of their community and their country. The Bear Battalion has a history of alumni who serve at the City, State, Congressional, and Senate levels.
