Military Studies Minor
Leadership styles, organizational structure and behavior, and a global perspective form the common ground between the military and business. This minor is a 24-credit-hour integrated program designed to enhance junior leader development and success in an increasingly competitive world. Admission to this minor requires completion of the application process and consultation with the military science or aerospace studies faculty. Please note it is not limited only to those students enrolled in one of the military’s pre-conditioning programs (Air Force or Army ROTC).
