The college also provides programs in Aerospace Studies (Air Force) and Naval Science (Navy and Marine Corp) through an inter-campus agreement with the University of Utah. Students may minor in any three of the above by satisfying requirements as identified in the programs below. AEROSPACE STUDIES (AIR FORCE ROTC) Chair: William P. Kinnear, Jr. Professor: Lt. Col. William P. Kinnear, Jr.; Assistant Professors: Captain Mark A. Gonske, Captain Woodford A. Short, Captain Thaddeus J. Martin, Captain Richard C. Bensamon. Objectives The Department of Aerospace Studies offers four-year and two-year programs through the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps which provides qualified men and women students an opportunity to earn a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force in conjunction with completing baccalaureate or higher degree requirements. The purpose of the program is to give an understanding of the mission and the global responsibilities of the United States Air Force. Education The Air Force recognizes that an officer must be able to think as well as to conform. To insure that these traits are given an opportunity to devolop, a learning approach has been developed that stresses student responsibility and involvement. This student-centered approach to learning encourages inquiry, logical thinking, the use of imagination, and the practice of sound judgment—all important attributes of an Air Force officer. The Department of Aerospace Studies offers academic preparation in interdisciplinary areas to include communication skills, Air Force history, leadership and management principles and practices, decision-making theory and policy formulation, ethics and valuing, socialization processes within the Armed Services, national and international relations, national defense structure, national security policy, and military law.
