The curriculum is designed to develop the students' leadership potential, as well as improve the students' planning, organizing, and managerial skills. Students with prior active military service or previous training at military schools may exempt some or all of the Basic Course. Students may also attend a five-week summer Basic Camp to fulfill the Basic Course requirement. Army ROTC training is offered to both men and women students and provides free uniforms and textbooks.
Enrollment is open to qualified students at all levels, including graduate students.
Offerings are published each semester in the schedule of classes. All Advanced Course and scholarship students receive a tax-free monthly cash allowance. This is in addition to the housing, meals, and pay which the students receive while attending the five-week field training course at the Summer Advanced Camp. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis in engineering, nursing, physical science, business, social science and other fields. The scholarship pays for tuition and fees, a book allowance each semester, and a tax-free monthly cash allowance.
