Military Science
Professor: Jordan (Chairperson)
Assistant Professors: Dukeman, Gibbs, Masapollo, Osborne, Wood
The Army ROTC program develops leadership ability and prepares students for the challenges and responsibilities they will face as Army officers and civilian leaders. Through a series of classroom courses and practical exercises, cadets learn self-confidence, time management and decision-making skills. The role of the professional officer in the preservation of peace and national security is emphasized, with particular attention placed on ethical conduct and the officer's responsibilities to society. The program culminates in an officer's commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Opportunities for follow-on postgraduate study also exist.
The mission of the United States Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program is to prepare quality college students to assume the role of a commissioned officer in the United States Army upon graduation. Students enrolling in Military Science (Army ROTC) are under no service obligation until enrollment in the advanced course portion of the program (MIL-G 311, MIL-G 312, MIL-G 411 and MIL-G 412). After completion of the ROTC program, the student is obligated to serve four years in the active Army, or eight years in the United States Army Reserve or Army National Guard. It should be known that junior military officers are among the highest recruited population group of people in their twenties because of their leadership, management, and interpersonal skills. The Army basic-level courses (MIL-G 111, MIL-G 112, MIL-G 211, and MIL-G 212) can be taken for credit without being an Army ROTC cadet. All reference materials and uniforms are supplied by the department.
Tuition scholarships are available to qualified students; providing for tuition, books, and fees. Upon enrollment in the advanced course (or as a scholarship student) of the program, students earn a monthly stipend of between $250-400 per month. Interested students should contact the Notre Dame Army ROTC scholarship and enrollment officer at (574) 631-6896 or at 1-800-UND-ARMY.
