Prospective Students

Illinois State students enroll in Military Science concurrently with their academic degree. Students may complete the first two years of Military Science with absolutely no military service obligation.

Veterans, National Guardsmen, Army Reservists, and students who complete a four-week leadership course at Fort Knox, Ky. receive constructive credit for the first two years of Military Science, and can complete the Military Science program in as few as two school years.

Freshman through senior Military Science courses are offered every semester. After the junior year students attend a 5-week Leader Development Assessment Course with their peers under the guidance of experienced Army Captains at Ft. Lewis, Wash. Students are provided one-on-one counseling and progress reports throughout the course.

These academic courses progress from:

  • Introducing the student to the Army's mission and organization
  • Learning and applying the Army's moral leadership framework of BE, KNOW, DO
  • Teaching students the responsibilities and skills required of officers in the twenty-first century
