1,595 Colleges and Universities across the United States have ROTC affiliations
883 Colleges and Universities are affiliated with two different Military Departments (e.g., State University has both AROTC and AFROTC units on campus)
393 Colleges and Universities are affiliated with all three Military Departments (e.g., State University has an AROTC host unit, and AFROTC, NROTC Crosstown affiliations)
* There are four major ways a college or university can be affiliated with ROTC via formal contract:
1) Host: an ROTC unit is maintained on campus; students attend on their own campus
2) Crosstown: students attend ROTC at a nearby campus with a host unit
3) Extension: a nearby host unit conducts part-time ROTC on campus; students attend on their own campus, but the unit is not maintained there
4) Consortium: various nearby ROTC units share resources; arrangements vary amongst consortiums
** Includes both Active Duty and Reserve Component Commissions. Army ROTC commissions ~2K officers per year into the Reserve Component; AF ROTC is authorized to do so in very small numbers (~30), but rarely uses ROTC for Reserve Commissions. Naval ROTC only commissions Active Duty Sailors and Marines.
ROTC: 5500/ year (35%)
MSAs: 3,000 / year (17%)
OCS: 3,700/year (20%)
Direct Commissioning: 3,000/year (17%)
Enlisted Commissioning Programs: 2,000/year (11%)

ROTC Units’ Order of Merit Based On Production
For AROTC and AFROTC, the top Quartile produces more than the next two Quartiles combined. This disproportionate production is evident even within the Top Quartile, where the top 5% of Host Units produce 25% of all AROTC and AFROTC commissions. NROTC’s top 5% of units produce 13% of total production.
