Professional Military Education Requirements
This component of the ROTC program is designed to provide the cadet with the type of academic foundation necessary to support continued intellectual growth and is a pre-commissioning requirement. As an integral part of their undergraduate education, prospective officers are required to complete the following:
- a baccalaureate degree;
- the Advanced Course (G301, G302, G401, G402, and LDAC);
- a military history course, including a “staff ride” (a systemic preliminary study and visit to a historic battlefield); and
- the Enhanced Skills Training Program (a program to enhance the communication, analytical, and critical thinking skills of future leaders).
