These courses are designed to give each student a basic background in Naval Science and other knowledge required of junior officers in the Navy and Marine Corps. Additionally, twice per week the entire battalion comes together for drill periods which provide our students the opportunity to practice the lessons of leadership. These drill periods are also utilized for career information seminars and guest speakers from afloat units in the fleet. Historically, our students have achieved an average GPA well above the university average even though they are taking additional courses and participating in numerous extracurricular activities. The unit tries to provide an enjoyable workout so that lifelong habits of physical fitness are encouraged.
Physical training provides our students with outstanding stress relief from their studies.
In addition to the exercise sessions, we provide counseling and lectures on nutrition, physical fitness and healthy living.
