ROTC: Leadership Minor

Leadership Minor

The University of Scranton is one of the few schools that offers a Transcripted "Minor in Leadership" based primarily on the ROTC program. The minor requires 18 credits. In addition to the Military Science Courses, students must complete a leadership internship (ROTC Advanced Camp satisfies the requirement), and must take two leadership based non-ROTC courses (six credits). The Minor in Leadership was approved by the University in January 1998. The catalogue description follows:

Minor in Leadership

Leadership is the ability to get things done through others. American Military Leadership emphasizes total competence in one's field, coupled with an absolute respect of ethics. It is based on the knowledge of people, history, and current management practices. The Military Science Department offers a minor in leadership that capitalizes on the classroom instruction offered in the above topics provided by several departments. The minor also offers unique field experiences for students to practice leadership skills in demanding , yet safe and controlled training activities. The minor is open to all university students.
