Since 1985, the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico has had formal arrangements with the University of Puerto Rico whereby students may register in the University of Puerto Rico’s Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program. Arrangements for participation in this program should be made with the Department of Military Science or Department of Aerospace Studies at the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras or Mayagüez.

The Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico will accept as elective credits with grades for undergraduate degrees a maximum of twelve credits in ROTC courses from the University of Puerto Rico under the aforementioned agreement.
