Military Leadership Minor
College: College of Social Sciences & Professional Studies
The military leadership minor promotes the development of undergraduate students in the area of small group leadership. The goal is to prepare students and future Officers in the United States Army to serve effectively in formal and informal leadership roles. The minor reinforces understanding and application of Army Leadership strategies, critical decision-making methodologies, and physical and mental fitness excellence. Competencies include an in-depth understanding of small unit tactics, land navigation and field training, operations and logistical planning, team building, and peer-to-peer counseling. The core courses in the minor are sequences to meet the increasingly complex sets of outcomes-based instruction across cognitive, personal development, and group/organizational domains required for the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program.
Requirements for the Military Leadership Minor
Students seeking a minor in military leadership must be approved by the director of the Center for Professional Studies, be seeking commission to the United States Army, and enrolled in the Army ROTC program.
