Military Science level three
Army ROTC Advanced Course
The Advanced Course takes place during your last two years in college as elective courses. It normally includes one elective class and lab each term in addition to the requisite physical training and field training exercises, plus a summer leadership camp. You learn advanced military tactics and gain experience in team organization, planning and decision-making. To benefit from the leadership training in the Advanced Course, all Cadets must have completed either the Basic Course or have attended the Leader's Training Course.
Entering the Advanced Course requires a commitment to serve as an Officer in the U.S. Army after you graduate.
