Minor Description:
American military forces have played an important role in our domestic and international history and will continue to have significant involvement in policy arenas relating to national security and international relations.
The interdisciplinary Military Science Minor, administered by the Departments of Aerospace Science, Military Science, and Naval Science is available in four tracks: Tracks AS, MS, and NS are the methods through which students become contracted Cadets or Midshipmen, committed to participating in any of the three Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs (Air Force and Space Force, Army, Navy) with the intent to commission as an officer into the Armed Forces after graduation. Track NC is open to all students providing them with a broad perspective on the military with analysis of national security affairs and all service branches of the Armed Forces from a historical and social scientific perspective.
Students who plan to complete the requirements for the minor should consult an undergraduate advisor in the School of Arts and Sciences or any of the Professors for the Air Force, Army, or Navy ROTC programs.
Learning Goals: Upon completion of the Military Science Minor students will be able to:
- Provide a broad perspective on the military and branches of service: Air Force and Space Force, Army, and/or Navy.
- Demonstrate and apply an understanding of individual and group dynamics and formal and informal leadership.
- Demonstrate and apply an understanding of governmental applications of power.
