Show Arts, Letters and Science — Military Science Arts, Letters and Science — Military Science FLIGHT INSTRUCTION Flight instruction, at no expense to the student, is available to qualified students in their senior year. Instruction is provided by the Weber State College Extension Division or an authorized local flying school at Ogden Airport. GRADUATE SCHOOL Those students who are commissioned through the ROTC program may receive a delay of entry on active duty to pursue a graduate degree. Normally, delays are approved once acceptance to Graduate School is finalized. VETERANS Veterans are eligible to enter the program and many requirements are waived due to their prior service. It is a unique opportunity since veterans receive both ROTC financial aids and GI Bill benefits plus increased pay benefits on active duty as officers due to prior service longevity. LEADERSHIP LABORATORY The laboratory is required of all enrolled military science students. This is an intensive period which places maximum emphasis on student participation and leadership development. The program includes water survival, rappelling techniques, tactical exercises, survival training in wilderness areas, army aircraft orientation flights, river crossing operations and com- batives. This laboratory is scheduled each Thursday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30. NON ROTC STUDENTS The Military Science Department will admit qualified Weber State students to enroll in courses of their choice. Academic credit is awarded and students are not required to attend leadership laboratory. Courses recommended are MS 102 (Map Reading), 201 and 202 (American Military History), and 403 (Military Implication in World Affairs). Contact the Military Science Department for further information.
