While we study citizenship, values, ethics, military history, human society, and management and leadership skills, you'll develop self-discipline, confidence, and gain practical leadership experience.

All of these skills are valuable when applied to service in a military or civilian career. Many of our students in the program are pursuing a major in business or social science while having an interest in military service, although all majors can apply for the minor.
