100 Level and 200 Level Military Science and Leadership classes may be taken by all University students. Class enrollment in the lower-level military leadership classes carries no U.S. Army commitment and there is no obligation to enroll for successive course offerings. Commissioning credit may be awarded for prior military service and attendance at Basic Camp. International students desiring to attend military science and leadership classes must have written approval from their respective embassies and the Professor of Military Science prior to taking classes.
