The Military Science Department (Army ROTC) offers a leadership
program for college men and women leading to a commission as a
second lieutenant in the United States Army (Active, Reserve, or
National Guard). All courses receive academic credit toward
graduation. Students may earn an academic minor in military science.
The Department of Military Science prepares college students to
be the leaders of the 21st century. This program offers an
opportunity to:
* Receive a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army (Active,
Reserves or National Guard)
* Learn and practice hands-on leadership
* Experience military adventure training
* Receive financial aid and/or scholarships
Textbooks, uniforms, and equipment necessary for the program are
provided by the Department of the Army without cost to the
University or student. A subsistence allowance of up to $1,500 per
year is available to selected students.
Undergraduate Program
Four-Year Program. The four- year Army ROTC program consists of
the Basic Course and the Advanced Course.
Basic Course. The Basic Course provides instruction in basic
leadership and hands-on military adventure training. Students receive
introductory leadership training and participate in adventure training
such as rappelling, survival instruction, cross-country skiing, land
navigation and rifle marksmanship. Various social and professional
enrichment activities are available in conjunction with the military
science program. Most students will take this program during their
freshman and sophomore years. After completing the Basic Course,
students who have demonstrated officer potential and who meet Army
physical standards are eligible to enroll in the Advanced Course.
Advanced Course. This program is normally taken during the final
two years of college. Instruction includes further leadership
development, military organization, management, tactics, and
administration.
Students enrolled in the Advanced Course receive a $150-per
month stipend for a period of up to 20 months. They attend a five
week leadership evaluation summer camp between their junior (Military
Science III) and senior (Military Science IV) years. Students at this
camp put into practice the leadership principles and skills learned
during the Military Science III year. Students receive pay, room, and
board while attending camp. Academic credit can be earned for
successful camp completion.
Two-Year Program. This program accommodates students who did
not have an opportunity to complete the Basic Course during their first
two years at the University. Students can take advantage of this
program by successfully completing a paid six-week Basic Leadership
Camp and enrolling in the ROTC Advanced Course for two years.
Students must meet enrollment requirements. Students may also
compete for two-year scholarships at Basic Camp.
Veterans, members of the National Guard or Army Reserve, and
Junior ROTC cadets may receive Basic Course credit based on their
experience.
Service Obligation. There is no military service commitment for
students in the Basic Course, unless the student has an ROTC
scholarship. Scholarship Program and Advanced Course students can
fulfill their obligation in the Active Army, Army Reserves, or National
Guard.
Scholarships. Two-, three-, and four-year merit-based scholarships
are available through Army ROTC. These scholarships pay tuition, fees,
a book allowance, and a monthly stipend. Winners are selected based on
achievements in academics, leadership, and extracurricular activities.
Submit four year applications between April 1 and November 15.
Submit two- and three-year applications before February 1.
Applications are available from the Department of Military Science.
Curriculum and Academic Credit. Students may count military
science credit hours toward graduation.
LDS Mission Leave Policy. Students leaving on LDS missions are
granted a 24- month leave of absence.
Simultaneous Membership Program. A special program is available
to Advanced Course students who wish to participate in National Guard
or Army Reserve units. These individuals are eligible to receive drill
pay, the G.I. Bill, and in certain cases, tuition assistance, as well as a
monthly stipend. Some students may be eligible for a special
Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) scholarship.
Special Training. Four programs of optional training are available to
selected cadets.
Airborne School. This three-week Army course qualifies cadets as
Army parachutists. Cadets may attend Airborne School during
summers (or at other arranged times).
Air Assault School. This two-week helicopter assault training course
teaches advanced rappelling from helicopters, aerial insertion, and
exfiltration.
Cadet Troop Leadership Training. This three-week training period is
taken with an active Army unit following advanced camp and helps
prepare the student for future leadership.
Northern Warfare School. A three-week course in arctic operations in
Alaska includes inland waterway navigation, mountaineering, and glacier
climbing.
