Students are placed into positions of responsibility, assess individual capabilities of fellow students and tasked to build effective teams. The freshmen course is worth two credit hours with sophomore, junior and senior courses all worth three credit hours.
All courses count as elective credit toward any major.
There is no commitment to the military until junior year. State and federal scholarships are also available to students that enroll in the course. These scholarships will pay for your general tuition and have no commitment to enter service until your junior year. Cadets familiarize themselves with tactics and strategies while learning about history and having fun at the same time. The Cougar Battalion Color Guard not only presents the national colors at official ROTC events, but also represents the school at graduations, area parades and sporting events.
