One of the ways in which a student can become an ECP cadet is to attend the Cadet Initial Entry Training. The course is twenty-nine days long. Between the cadet's freshmen and sophomore years, the cadet will attend the Advanced Camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Following AC, the cadet may be able to attend additional training with Army units all over the world and in the United States. After completing required training, the Cadet is commissioned as a U.S. Army officer at the end of his/her sophomore year. The ECP program allows cadets to become commissioned second lieutenants two years earlier than normal ROTC cadets and even West Point cadets. These commissioned army officers can then serve in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard. After completing their four-year degrees, they will be promoted as a first Lieutenant.
