College of Health and Human Performance
Military Science (Minor)
Program Purpose
The mission of the Department of Military Science is to train college men and women to become commissioned officers in the US Army, Army National Guard, and/or US Army Reserve. The US Army ROTC program consists of a two-year basic course (freshman and sophomore level) and a two-year advanced course (junior and senior level), which includes a 32-day leadership development and assessment course at Fort Knox, Kentucky prior to the final year.
Service veterans are eligible for placement into the advanced course if they are classified as academic juniors. The basic course has no military obligation or commitment. Completion of the Military Science minor provides formal academic recognition on graduates' university transcripts for military training.
