Military Science (Army ROTC)
The Army ROTC Program at DBU is in partnership with the Maverick Battalion. The Army Program comes with many potential benefits. Our program is all about making YOU the best leader you can be. The program will prepare you for life after college regardless of what industry you go into.
Our cross-town partnership with UTA's Maverick Battalion provides DBU cadets the ability to attend a Christ-Centered institution while also pursuing their aspirations to commission as an officer in the Army. While at DBU, cadets take all degree specific courses on campus and graduate with a DBU degree (
See DBU's Degree Programs). Cadet's MILS courses are held at UTA throughout the week. Due to DBU's partnership with UTA's Maverick Battalion, Army cadets can participate in required PT sessions on DBU's campus in our fitness facilities.
Be sure to reach out to DBU's ROTC Administrator,
Dr. Ryon Phillips, or ROTC Coordinator,
Cooper Patch, with any questions!
