What is the ROTC Fulfillment Program?
Upper level cadets who are not pursuing a military contract will fulfill their ROTC requirement by taking one pre-approved 3-credit-hour leadership-oriented class each semester in residency during their Junior and Senior years.
ROTC fulfillment courses include two groups of classes: Leadership Studies minor classes as well as high-impact practices classes (e.g. capstones, internships, or undergraduate research classes). Krause Center experiences do not fulfill the requirement (LDRS 311 & LDRS 411).
Graduation Requirement: LDRS 371
All upper-level (1B-2A) cadets (both contracted and non-contracted) are required to enroll in LDRS 371. LDRS 371 counts as an ROTC Fulfillment course.
Earn a Leadership Studies Minor While Taking ROTC Fulfillment Courses
All Leadership Studies Minor courses count toward your ROTC Fulfillment requirement. Pair your required LDRS 371 course with LDRS 401, LDRS 433, and two interdisciplinary electives. See the flyer for more information on the minor and elective options.
