The basic course is designed to provide the student a basic level of military education emphasizing leadership and the understanding of fundamental concepts and principles of military art and science. This basic foundation aids the development of leadership potential of the individual student and serves to qualify him or her for the advanced course. The objective of the advanced course is to prepare students to serve as commissioned officers in the United States Army. This goal is accomplished by providing qualified students with knowledge and experience in leadership, management, and tactics, and by developing self-reliance through experience and practical application. The professor of military science may grant direct advanced course attendance to any qualified student.
Qualification is contingent upon demonstrated prior military experience attained by veterans.

While at camp, students have the opportunity to compete for two-year scholarships.
