Leadership and management objectives are included in academic periods of instruction. Practical leadership experience is gained in a field training environment by attendance at a five-week summer camp, normally between the junior and senior years. Nursing students attend a three-week nursing internship at Army hospitals throughout the country following the normal summer camp. A leadership laboratory also provides experience in a range of leadership positions during the school year. Students are invited to visit or write the Department of Military Science to obtain additional information.
Students can begin the four-year program as a freshman or as a sophomore.
There is also a two-year ROTC program for those students with only two years of college remaining. Graduate students may also qualify for enrollment in the two-year course. Additional information regarding eligibility requirements for the two-year program may be obtained by contacting the Department of Military Science. Women are encouraged to enroll and will be commissioned as officers in the United States Army upon completion of the ROTC curriculum. Job opportunities for women officers in the Army are the same as those for men, excluding a few combat arms fields.
