MSCI 225 - Leader’s Training Course

4 hours
An alternative to the Basic Course above, this course offers a possibility for students who have not considered ROTC until late in their sophomore year an opportunity for a scholarship and entry into the Advanced Course. The sole purpose for attending is to qualify for the Advanced Course. Students contract prior to attending, and, therefore, must be American citizens to attend. This is a 28-day summer training course conducted at Fort Knox, Kentucky. It is designed to teach the fundamentals of soldiering and leadership. Students gain personal confidence through practical, hands-on exercises, including land navigation, rifle marksmanship, first aid, individual and unit tactics, obstacle courses, and rappelling. Includes a military stipend of approximately $500. UG
