Arizona State University is one of three U.S. universities selected to develop a Chinese Language ROTC/Flagship program that will serve as a model to replicate nationwide.

The nearly $1 million three-year grant was awarded by the Institute of International Education, the administrative agent of the National Security Education Program. Its objective is to increase the number of ROTC students who achieve professional-level proficiency in a number of critical languages. Also receiving a grant were the Georgia Institute of Technology and North Georgia College and State University.

This pilot program, which will be based on the current Chinese Language Flagship program at ASU, is open to cadets and midshipmen in the university’s three ROTC programs (Army, Air Force and Navy).
