 SSC students have the opportunity to qualify to participate in either the Army ROTC or the Air Force ROTC.

Starting this fall, Freshmen and Sophomores will have class right here on the North Shore. Classes will be held on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:00 PM at either SSC or Endicott College, depending on the week. Juniors and Seniors will continue to train in Cambridge at MIT (transportation provided). All contracted cadets will participate in physical training three afternoons per week on the North Shore.
