Cadets must complete their undergraduate degree, including a military science curriculum, and pass a physical fitness test to be commissioned.
“Being a military officer is one of the most prestigious and satisfying professions an American citizen can have,” said Lt. Col. Marty Deckard, head of Tarleton’s Department of Military Science. “Many of our cadets have gone on to become CEOs of major corporations and hold key government positions after completing their military service. We are extremely proud of these seven young men and women and their decision to serve our country.”
