Carson-Newman College ROTC was established in 1971. The Military Science Department, located at 1809 Manning Ave., across from the Honors House, offers courses to develop leadership and management skills for both military and civilian careers. The Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program provides qualified students opportunities to serve their country full or part time as officers in the US Army. Students enrolled in ROTC who meet specified qualifications can earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army, Army National Guard or the US Army Reserve.Carson Newman College Army ROTC has one of the largest Army Nurse producing programs and we are noted for our close working relationship with the school of Nursing. ROTC students may participate in the Color Guard, Ranger Challange, Officers Christian Fellowship, annual Military Ball and many social functions sponsored by cadets and cadre. Each year the Ranger Challange Team attends a regional, multi-state intercollegiate competition of physical stamina, leadership ability and teamwork.
Military Science courses are open to all students. However, to enroll in advanced ROTC courses which lead to a commission as a Second Lieutenant, a student must meet US Army administrative, physical, medical and mental standards and be accepted by the Professor of Military Science.

You will receive the best training in the world no matter what specialty you chose. You will have the opportunity to lead as well as care for your patients in a variety of settings to include hospitals, aid stations, and combat support hospitals in the United States and abroad.

Quote- “CNC's nursing program provided me with the individual instruction and close knit relationships that I needed to foster my education. Over the past four years I have developed strong professional friendships with many of my nursing professors and have been able to grow professionally and personally through their advice and experiences. The individual instruction I received made me feel like my performance was a top priority and that someone cared about me inside and outside the classroom. The clinical instructors are of the highest caliber and are equally competent to help you with the rigors experienced in the clinical environment. The curriculum prepares you fully for every obstacle, and even though it can be stressful, it best prepares you for your NCLEX certification. On a more personal note, CNC nursing has been one of the most challenging academic programs I have ever encountered, but it was worth every moment. I have never felt so accomplished or more proud of myself than I did on the day I graduated. I can honestly say I would do it all over again. I loved my professors, my classmates, and Carson-Newman. I am very excited about my future career as an Army Nurse and all the opportunities that will come my way.” (2LT Lindsay Adler, former nursing student who graduated May 2009.)
