CURRICULUM
   The ROTC program specializes in teaching leadership and management skills required by the military and sought by civilian employers. ROTC cadets learn how to motivate co-workers and how to plan, organize and implement large projects and tasks. They also learn skills in demand in civilian businesses, such as teamwork, tact problem solving, decision making, and effective communication. The program includes the Basic Course for freshmen and sophomores and the Advanced Course for juniors and seniors. Students incur active duty and reserve commitments only upon enrollment in the Advanced Course or through the ROTC scholarship program and successful completion of the curriculum.
   Credit for Military Science courses cannot be applied to degree requirements. However, grades for all Military Science courses are included in cumulative grade point ratios.
   Students who miss out on the basic ROTC Freshman and Sophomore curriculum can attend a four-week (LTC) leadership training course at Fort Knox, KY., during the summer between their sophomore and junior years.
   In the Advanced Course, students must complete 18 credit hours of Military Science and the 4-week ROTC National Advanced Leaders Camp (MS 304) at Fort Lewis, WA. Qualified students may also participate in Army Airborne, Air Assault, Northern Warfare, or Mountain Warfare training.
   Veterans and students who received ROTC training in high school should contact the Department concerning possible constructive credit for part or all of the Basic Course. Graduate students, transfer students and students who expect to complete degree requirements in less than four years should contact the Department concerning an accelerated program if they desire to obtain a commission. Other programs are available for selected students to complete the program in 2 years or less.

Allowances
   Uniforms are furnished, when appropriate, to all students without charge. Students on scholarship and/or enrolled in the Advanced Course receive a monthly subsistence allowance that ranges from $250-400 per month during the school year and approximately $20 per day during the ROTC Advanced Camp, plus free room and board (meals).

Scholarships
   ROTC awards scholarships of $17,000 per year, providing money for tuition and educational fees. Scholarships are awarded strictly on merit, although the Institute provides an additional financial incentive. Scholarship winners also receive a designated textbook allowance of $600 per year and a tax-free stipend allowance from $250-400 per month for up to 10 months for each year the scholarship is in effect. Four-year scholarships are open to high school graduates prior to entering Army ROTC as freshmen. The three and two year scholarships are available to students enrolled in ROTC at Rose-Hulman. Full details on the scholarship program may be obtained by contacting the ROTC office at 1 (800)-248-7448, extension 8348 or 8236, or by visiting the Army ROTC home page at www.Rose Hulman.edu\AROTC\
