The Corps is a place for women to thrive, develop leadership skills, build confidence, and learn about themselves. Women have been a part of the Corps of Cadets for over 30 years and there are over 200 women in the Corps. Freshman female enrollment in the Corps has increased for nine of the last ten years.
Women may hold any position in the Corps and, in fact have been a Deputy Corps Commander, Major Unit and Unit Commanders, an Aggie Band Drum Major, and Ross Volunteers. ROTC is only required for the first two years and there is no military obligation. About 35% of the women continue in ROTC and receive a military commission in one of the four branches of the military.
The other women go on to successful careers in the public and private sector.
The Corps has a women's softball and basketball team and women can join four other co-ed sports teams.
