Military Science (Army) Minor

Develop leadership skills and serve your country as an Army officer. The Military Science minor, offered through Army ROTC, provides professional military education and leadership training for students committed to service after graduation.

To receive a minor in Military Science, you must commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army upon graduation.
