Military Science Minor
The Military Science minor is designed for students who are enrolled in the U.S. Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). The minor allows ROTC cadets to better understand the history of war and conflict, and the history of the U.S. military, in particular. Armed with such knowledge, military science minors will be better leaders and critical thinkers in today's military forces as well as in public- and private-sector careers. In an increasingly complex world fraught with tension, such historical perspective offers lessons and potential resolutions. The minor stands at 18 credit hours of coursework drawn from ROTC and history courses.
