The Department of Military Science offers a program of leadership study in the U. S. Army Senior ROTC Program through which students may earn a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army, the Army National Guard, or the Army Reserve upon graduation. The program con- sists of a two-year Basic Course Program and a two-year Advanced Course Program. Credit for the Basic Course Program may be accom- plished by completion of the four-week Leader’s Training Course (LTC) prior to enrollment in the Advanced Course Program. Students with prior military training who wish to enroll in the Advanced Course may have part or all of the Basic Course requirements waived by the professor of military science. Nursing students who have not completed the Basic Course Program may enter the Advanced Program via the Alternate Entry Option. Advanced Course students must complete university requirements and United States Military History (HI 374) prior to commissioning.
The department provides the basic ROTC coursework for a minor in mil- itary science and up to four hours of elective credit in Area V requirements in the general education component. Enrollment in the Basic Course Program does not commit the student to continue in the Advanced ROTC program or incur a military obligation. Students selected for the advanced course learn leadership and decision-making skills. They may elect to pursue a minor in military science in satisfaction of requirements for a minor field in regular degree (non-teaching) programs. Up to four credit hours of the Basic Course requirements for the minor (MS 111, 112, 211, 212) may be granted by virtue of prior military training or completion of the Leader’s Training Course (a summer internship).
In appropriate circumstances and subject to the approval of the chair of the department, students may be permitted to compress the courses MS I and II through concurrent enrollment. The compression of leadership labo- ratories through concurrent enrollment will be supplemented by additional instruction.
