Most colleges will offer an army ROTC if the applicant is one that they particularly wish to have enter their college It is worth asking when applying to the college.
No, it is not a major. You major in another subject and take one course a semester for ROTC.
Irregardless you will need to enlist into the Army, the ROTC program offered through some colleges requires you to be in the Army Reserves prior to applying for the Scholarship, it is your choice on the route you want to go. The biggest difference is that you will receive an active duty pay check and college benefits while serving on Active Duty where with in the ROTC Program you will still need to have at the least a part time job to have spending money (college is paid for). After you have completed you degree in the ROTC program you will be required to commit to a 5 year enlistment as an Officer in the Active Army or the Army Reserves.
I have been wondering the same question as you. "What college is the army ROTC the best at" I have found out that the military doesn't rank college ROTC programs anymore but private companies do. So my suggestion is go to a book store and look for a book on the army ROTC and which colleges it is best at.
The Army, because the Army ROTC was at more colleges than the Navy. Texas A&M's ROTC program commissioned 15,000 officers that served in World War 2, more than any other school, including West Point.
The Chapel Hill campus has Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC. The Charlotte campus has Army and Air Force ROTC. The Pembroke campus has Army ROTC. Don't know about Greensboro, though.

I think what is meant is "If you sign up with the army to pay for college, do you spend service time after or before completing college?" Well, the ROTC program offered by the army allows you to give time (usually 4 years) *after* you finish college.

If you are a graduate of ROTC program during college, you are already a reservist you just did not know it, all you need to do is to reactivate your status into an active reserve. Now, if you are a non-ROTC graduate you can join by enrolling BCMT (Basic Citizen Military Training) course which is an equivalent to ROTC.
