Knauer, Colonel, U.S.A., Chairman Departmental Office, Military Science, Promontory Tower The Department of Military Science (Army ROTC) offers two-year and four-year programs which provide instruction in general military science leading to a commission in the United States Army Reserve or for selected individuals a commission in the Regular Army. To enter the four-year program students must be: a. A male freshman student qualifying for entrance into WSC. b. A sophomore with credit for Junior ROTC or other military training. c. A sophomore pursuing a course requiring four more years to earn the bachelor's degree. The two-year program is for students who did not enroll as freshmen or sophomores but desire to compete for entrance in the advanced program. Selections for this course are made by the Professor of Military Science based on the results of qualifying examinations administered to the students by the department and the recommendations of a selection board responsible for interviewing the applicant following completion of the qualifying examinations. Students selected for the two-year program must successfully complete a six-week basic summer camp conducted between their sophomore and junior year during which they are taught courses normally presented during the first two years of the four-year ROTC program. All scheduled classroom instruction includes a weekly leadership laboratory to obtain course credit. Commissions—In order to qualify for a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve, the student must: 1. Satisfactorily complete all military science courses. 2. Satisfactorily complete the advanced summer camp (six weeks). 3. Meet the requirements of his college for a baccalaureate degree. Departmental Requirements—Retention in the Army ROTC program is dependent upon the student maintaining a cumulative 2.0 GPA in his general academic work, as well as satisfactory completion of military science requirements. It is imperative that each student be fully matriculated. Suggested allied work: Physics 201, 202, 203, 204, 206; Chemistiy 121, 122, 123; English 250; Economics 101, 102, 274; and History 170.
