Course examines the national security process, regional studies, leadership ethics, and USAF doctrine. Topics include the military as a profession, officership, military justice, civilian control of the military, active duty preparation, and issues affecting military professionalism. ARMY RESERVE OFFICERS’ TRAINING CORPS Waynesburg University has a partnership program with the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (Army ROTC) at West Virginia University. All credits received from ROTC classes are valid towards graduation. Curriculum includes skills expected of an Army Officer including how to motivate co-workers, cope with unexpected challenges, organize complex tasks and an introduction to the Army’s values based leadership techniques. Additionally, students learn skills in demand today in the civilian and business world such as teamwork, tact, and effective communications. There are both two- and four-year ROTC programs. The four-year program is comprised of the Basic Course and the Advanced Course. The first two years comprise the Basic Course. This includes MSC 101 through MSC 202 and includes classroom studies in such subjects as military history, leadership development and national defense. Students can enroll in the program for the first two years without incurring any future military service obligation. After successful completion of the Basic Course, students who meet Army medical qualification and Army ROTC academic standards can apply for admission into the Advanced Course. The Advanced Course requires MSC 301 through MSC 402, a weekly lab, and an approved military history course. During this part of the program, students will put their management skills to the test while continuing to hone the traits required for commissioning into the United States Army. As a cadet in the Advanced Course, you will spend approximately four weeks of the summer between your junior and senior year attending the Cadet Leadership Course (CLC) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. At CAC, students receive intensive training in leadership tactics, physical fitness, land navigation, obstacle course, rappelling, critical decision-making, and more. They also have the opportunity to lead other cadets through challenging missions and are evaluated among their peers on their leadership abilities, officer potential, as well as the skills and knowledge they have learned through ROTC on campus. Once contracted in either program, ROTC textbooks, uniforms and essential materials are furnished at no cost. Additionally, if selected for contracting into the Advanced Course, students receive a tax-free monthly stipend ($450/month as a junior and $500/ month as a senior) paid during the school year once they sign a contract. Students can also contract (obligate themselves to accept a commission as an officer) as early as their sophomore year and would receive a tax-free monthly stipend of $350/per month during the school year, if they qualify. Only freshman who have received a four-year U.S. Army ROTC National Scholarship can contract during their freshman year. If students miss the first two years of Army ROTC, the two-year program offers the opportunity to achieve the same goals and benefits as the four-year program. Students will receive the same leadership and management training, but at an accelerated pace. This is designed for sophomores who failed to take the Basic Course or for students transferring after attending another college. In this program, students first attend ROTC Cadet Initial Entry Training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in the summer between their sophomore and junior year. This is a fully paid (over $700 plus room, board and transportation), four-week training course where students may compete for two-year scholarships. 2023-2024
