Program Information

Program Description

Full Description

Leadership styles, organizational structure and behavior and a global perspective form the common ground between the military and business. The Military and Leadership Studies minor provides an overview of management, leadership and international business. Students will gain military perspective through hands-on experience as well as coursework. The interdisciplinary minor is open to all students.

A minor in Military and Leadership Studies allows students who have completed specialized ROTC or military service courses to receive credit for this training. Normally, these courses are applied as electives within a degree program. The minor provides proof on a student's transcript that they have specialized in the area of Military and Leadership Studies.
