Military Studies Minor

The minor in Military Studies is a 24-29-credit leader development program of study offered through MSU’s Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering for students commissioning in through either the Army or Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). The hallmark of the program is applied leadership; students are taught leadership techniques and implement them in a military context. Each course is progressive, beginning with basic Army and Air Force leadership principles theory. Students ultimately complete their senior level upper division courses by putting those leadership principles into practice while actively leading other students. The Military Studies Minor is only open to Army and Air Force ROTC cadets.
