ROTC is not a major program. However, cadets have the opportunity to obtain a minor in Military Science. The minor is only open to those ROTC cadets pursuing a bachelor's degree from their university and a commission in the U.S. Army. In order to complete the minor, students must complete 17 credits of coursework to include:
HIST 153 War and Peace in the 20th Century (3)
MSL 210 Army Physical Fitness Training (1)
MSL 311 Leadership & Problem Solving (3)
MSL 312 Leadership & Ethics (3)
MSL 411 Leadership & Management (3)
MSL 412 Officership (3)
MSL 403 Application of Physical Conditioning (1)
Military History Requirement: HIST 153 War and Peace in the 20th Century satisfies this requirement. The class availability varies and is only offered every now and then. Make sure plans are made ahead of time in order to fit this class into your class schedule when it is offered.
Physical fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle in general is an important part of being in the military, especially for officers. Non-contracted cadets in the ROTC Basic Course have the option of attending physical training (PT) three days a week from 0600-0700 M, T, and H. All contracted cadets are required to attend PT sessions each day, unless exempt. Cadets participating in varsity level athletics and nursing students are excused from PT during the season. Additionally, the university grants a Human Performance credit for taking the MSL 210 Army Physical Fitness Training class, which counts toward general education requirements. Normal college students, not interested in officially joining ROTC, also have the ability to enroll in the course without incurring a military obligation. The class offered is as follows:
MSL 210 Army Physical Fitness Training (1) M, T, H 0600-0700
Important Note: It is important to point out that many cadets that are eligible for the Advanced Course and not yet academic juniors or graduate students enroll in the MS I or MS II courses. This gives the student an opportunity to learn more about ROTC before beginning the MS III year. An example is a sophomore that is a member of a National Guard unit. This student is not eligible for the Advanced Course until reaching at least junior status. As a sophomore the student can take MS I or MS II courses, even though completion of these courses is not required to complete the ROTC program.
