The military science minor, encompassing 22 credit hours, will prepare selected students for commissioning and establish a sound basis for their future professional development. Students obtain a military science major over the course of four years at UW.
Many of our professors are decorated soldiers with a vast array of experiences in the Army at all levels of leadership.
Army ROTC students at UW have numerous opportunities to further their education and career goals. The program offers access to special scholarships through the Army or Wyoming Army National Guard, UW block grants and multiple national scholarships. In addition, students can participate in internships with various Department of Defense and other associations during the summer, including NASA, US Corps of Engineers and Military Units, through our involvement with Project GO.
It's no surprise that most of our graduates end up working for the United States Army on Active Duty; others serve in the National Guard or work civilian careers. Over 95% of our Active Duty commissionees receive their top two choices of military job and duty location.
