The curriculum is designed to develop the students' leadership potential as well as improve the students' planning, organizing and managerial skills. The two-year program allows academic juniors to enter the Advanced Course and to be commissioned as a second lieutenant in two years. Students with prior active military service or previous training at military schools may exempt some or all of the Basic Course. Students with questions concerning the various options should contact the professor of military science for more information. Army ROTC training is offered to both male and female students and provides free uniforms and textbooks.
Enrollment is open to qualified students at all levels, including graduate students.
Offerings are published each semester. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis in engineering, nursing, physical science, business, social science and other fields. The scholarship pays for tuition, books, lab fees, and certain other academic expenses. Adventure training at the Airborne School, Air Assault School, and the Northern Warfare School is available to both Basic and Advanced Course students during semester breaks. Adventure training is also available during the academic year.
