Military Leadership Overview
The goal of the Military Science (MLS) Program is to train confident and competent leaders of character for commissioning as officers in the US Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Every student taking MLS will learn organizational, leadership and managerial skills that will prepare them to lead. This program is open to students of all majors, no previous military experience required.
The traditional MLS program is four years: a two-year Basic Course, for which no military obligation is incurred, and a two-year Advanced Course, plus a US Military History Course (3 credits). Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) classes are three credit college electives you can take for up to two years with no military obligation. Instructors develop their students’ physical, mental and critical thinking skills through team building and collective hands-on problem solving case studies. A number of popular and challenging extra-curricular activities are available for students who take these courses.
