## Minoring in Military Science

The BYU-Idaho program is an extension of Boise State University Army ROTC. The ROTC program encompasses a four-year period tailored to the normal progression of a student through four years of college. Military Science is a minor field of study. Students are expected to specialize in a major field of their choice.

To complete a Military Science minor and become an officer in the U.S. Army, a student must be a U.S. citizen and must meet the academic and physical requirements of ROTC. However, the Military Science program is designed so that the first two years of study are open to most students. 100 and 200 level classes within this minor can be taken without incurring a military obligation.

A Program Designed for Strength

The instruction program complements the academic schedule of the university and is taught by professional Army officers and non-commissioned officers. Army ROTC is designed to teach principles and techniques of leadership and management in preparation for service as an Army officer and civic leader.

After BYU-Idaho

Eligible students are encouraged to contract with the Army as soon as they have met the qualifications, but are not required to do so during the first two years. After students have completed the first two years, all the basic courses, and reached junior status they must contract with the Army to continue in the advanced course and be commissioned as an Army Lieutenant upon graduation from BYU-Idaho.

ROTC Fitness Training | Military Science | BYU-Idaho

# ROTC Fitness Training

## Physical training

Physical Training (PT) is held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 0630-0730. It is designed to develop muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance. Exercises usually include running, push-ups, sit-ups, and possibly sports. The student will be responsible for doing PT on his/her own during the rest of the week. This allows students to alter their personal PT schedule to fit their own individual academic schedule. This also allows students to vary their PT according to their own personal fitness needs.

## Army Fitness Test

Throughout the academic semester diagnostic and record Army Fitness Tests will be administered to determine the level of fitness of the student and determine if he/she is improving. This system allows everyone to improve their conditioning at their own pace while boosting self-confidence.

The test consists of five events; 3 Rep Max Deadlift, Hand Release Push-up, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, Two-Mile Run. To see explanations of each event and the scoring charts , please visit the below link:

Army Fitness Test

## Extra Military Training

Cadets may apply to attend volunteer training such as Airborne, Air Assault, and Mountain Warfare courses. Other Cadets may participate in leadership internships with various military units around the world. These additional training opportunities allow Cadets to further their knowledge and better prepare them for commissioning as a Second Lieutenant.

## Clubs and Activities

ROTC offers the opportunity to participate in the Ranger Challenge Team or the Scabbard and Blade Honor Society. Each of these organizations offers diverse opportunities and experiences that allow Cadets to pursue their interests. All clubs are run by Cadets, allowing the students to have primary input concerning their activities. 
In addition to the clubs available, we conduct the Color Guard for all home football games and fire the cannon each time the Bronco Football team scores.

Leadership Labs

Leadership labs are held every Thursday for ****3-6 hours**** during the semester. This is an opportunity for Cadets to apply classroom lessons to a hands-on training environment.

## Student Participant Comments

> "Since the travel study I have developed a stronger love for learning...I feel a greater connection to Christians of all faiths. The New Testament makes so much more sense now that I have an understanding of the many peoples taught by the prophets and apostles."

> "I especially enjoyed mass at St. Stephen's and sacred music at Notre Dame...What a blessing it is that I had the opportunity to learn and travel!"

> "I feel a greater connection to the... people we study about. Being able to walk the streets where they lived and worked, walk through the houses they lived in and the concert halls and churches and palaces they performed in, was just incredible."

> "As I have gone on this tour...I have such a better love of the gospel of Jesus Christ but I also have a higher respect for other religions and their beliefs."

## Additional Information

All travel plans are reviewed by security personnel of the university and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Church has experts in security who have contacts throughout the world. Travel will not be permitted to proceed if there are known credible threats to student safety.
