Department of Military Science and Leadership (Army Officer Commissioning)

The Basic Course: (100 and 200 level) are fundamental and deal with the Army’s role in the U.S. government. American military history, small unit organizations/operations, military geography/map reading and some adventure training are also addressed. No military obligation is incurred by completion of the these courses.

The Advanced Course: (300 level) focus on leadership, management, and command/staff responsibilities within military organizations. All contracted Army ROTC students receive subsistence pay during the academic year. During the summer, students are compensated while attending Camp.

Leadership Lab periods, held weekly during the academic year, and on one weekend per semester, focus on adventure-type training (e.g., orienteering, rappelling, survival training, and basic marksmanship). These activities are offered, subject to availability of equipment and facilities, to provide an opportunity to develop leadership, organizational abilities, and confidence.

Army ROTC incorporates the dimension of leadership into the academic curriculum and provides training and experience that can be valuable in any profession.
