Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, La.). Army ROTC
Variant namesThe Louisiana State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy included military training as a significant part of the curriculum almost from its foundation in 1860. In 1879, the first Regular Army officer, Lieutenant Michael F. Jamar, became the first Professor of Military Science and Technology. LSU contributed volunteers to every American conflict beginning with the Spanish-American War and was one of the top four schools producing officers for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. LSU dropped mandatory ROTC requirements for freshmen and sophomore male students in 1969 in response to a national movement among land-grant universities.
