Military science strives to emulate the University's learn, lead and serve model as it trains leaders for service to the country and community. The Department of Military Science complements a traditional course of study by preparing you for acceptance of a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard.

Program Overview
The Army senior Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program is divided into two parts: the basic course and the advanced course. Instruction in the basic course introduces you, at no cost or obligation, to management principles, national defense trends, map reading, leadership development, and military courtesy, discipline and customs.
After completing the basic course, you are eligible to enroll in the advanced course provided you have demonstrated officer potential and have met Army standards. The advanced course covers the final two years of ROTC and includes a 33-day Leadership Development Assessment Course (LDAC) conducted at Fort Lewis, Washington.
Instruction includes advanced leadership development, group dynamics, organization and management, small unit tactics and administration. Practical leadership and experience is received by assigning students as cadet officers and noncommissioned officers. During the summer, you may also attend additional training sessions such as the Army Airborne School and Air Assault School. Summer leadership internships, Army-funded study abroad opportunities and cultural immersion internships in foreign countries are also available.
Program Eligibility
Army ROTC accepts students in any degree field. The academic major is considered when you apply for an associated Army career field during your senior year. Both men and women may participate in Army ROTC, and equal rights and opportunities are stressed. To enroll in the Army ROTC basic course, you must be a full-time student and at least 17 years of age.
