[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Honam University Student Military Education Corps (Commander Lieutenant Colonel Jeon Seungcheol) announced on the 16th that it is recruiting candidates for the 63rd and 64th classes of the 2022 academic year ROTC until the 8th of next month.

On the same day, the ROTC unit set up a promotional booth in front of the central lawn plaza on campus to promote the recruitment guidelines, including eligibility, application methods, and required documents, targeting enrolled students.

Park Sangcheol, President of Honam University, also visited the promotional booth in the morning to encourage the effort, listened to the current application status, methods for female applicants, and benefits, and urged responsible promotion so that many students can apply for the officer candidate recruitment, which plays a central role in the military.

ROTC trains army officers equipped with both academic knowledge and military expertise through two years of military education for students enrolled in four-year universities. After completing the two-year training course, candidates are commissioned as officers upon graduation and serve in the military for two years and four months.

ROTC candidates must be male or female students in their first or second year at Honam University, aged between 20 and 27 as of the commissioning date. Applications must be submitted online through the Army Cadet Military School website by the 8th of next month, followed by visiting the ROTC unit to submit the application form and photo.

However, for second-year students, the total earned credits up to the semester before application must be at least 80% of the requested credits, and the overall GPA must be C or higher.

The selection process includes a written exam (April 16), interview evaluation (May 23 to June 17), and physical examination (May 9 to July 1), with the final successful candidates announced on July 15.

Successful candidates will undergo two years of combined major coursework and military training, becoming excellent officers equipped with both academic expertise and military knowledge. They will also enjoy various benefits such as scholarships provided by the military and university, as well as domestic and international battlefield site visits.
