The University of South Dakota’s Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) has been ranked 37th in the national Order of Merit Scores (OMS) list, increasing 100 spots from last year, according to a release from USD.
The OMS rankings are determined by cadets’ performances in academics, leadership and physical fitness levels.
USD’s rise in the rankings is a “testament to the talents, hard work and determination of our cadets,” said Maj. Adam Kirschling, USD professor of military science.
The university’s ROTC program has grown in the past couple of years thanks to recruiting and the commitment from the university, Kirschling said in a statement.
