Accelerated Cadet Commissioning Training
Introduction
ACCT is an accelerated 2-year Advanced ROTC Program entry point in which the cadet enrolls in the advanced course. It is available to both non-scholarship and scholarship cadets. The cadet would be required to fulfill an additional 40 hours (flexibly scheduled) of individual training. This additional training substitutes for the ROTC basic course. This program is for college students who will be entering into their junior year during the fall semester and who did not take the ROTC Basic Course.
ACCT philosophy is based on an action-oriented training plan. Emphasis is hands on, outdoor training with rapid, constructive feedback to you. Above all else, ACCT is a leadership experience. The training program is designed to inspire you to become an outstanding leader with a sound understanding of traditional leadership values.
