Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is dedicated to developing leaders of tomorrow who will go on to fulfill the Air and Space Force missions, represent our core values, and live up to the rich history of Air Force ROTC. The Air Force ROTC program develops leaders by preparing students to become officers in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force while earning a college degree. In AFROTC, you’ll not only build lifelong friendships, but you may also have the opportunity to pay for school through our scholarship programs. Most importantly, unlike many other college students, you’ll have a rewarding career waiting for you after graduation. We are located on the Tennessee State University (TSU) campus, just 10 minutes from Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt students who join our program will travel to our Detachment headquarters on the TSU campus for ROTC events. If you are interested in embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, please contact us at (615) 963-5931 for enrollment information.
The Go Gold Battalion has a proud unit history, beginning at Vanderbilt in 1947 with a small Medical Corps unit for medical school students. It has since expanded into a program to train, develop, and commission officers of all branches into the United States Army.

The program prepares both men and women for responsibilities as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard upon graduation.

Residential colleges are a type of on-campus student residence in which the academic experience is integrated into residential life, creating communities and opportunities for learning outside the classroom among a diverse study body. Led by faculty heads who live in-residence, Vanderbilt’s residential colleges create an intentional, mutually-beneficial educational experience for our students, faculty and staff, promoting the development of intellect, community, personal well-being, self-discovery, and cultural awareness.
