The two-year program substitutes a five-week Army Leadership Training Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky, for the Military Science 100- and 200-level courses. This leadership orientation is designed for sophomores with no prior military training.

Additionally, students must demonstrate a basic swimming ability.<\/p>\n<p>All students seeking a commission must attend two five-week advanced training and assessment experiences normally in the summer between freshman and sophomore years and junior and senior years. Attendance may be deferred until after senior year at the discretion of the Chairperson of Military Science. The Basic Camp and Advanced Camp are at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Additionally, students may compete throughout their time as a contracted cadet for selection to attend additional training at the Army Airborne School, Air Assault School, Northern Warfare School, Mountain Warfare School or Combat Diver Qualification course. Cadets will have the opportunity to compete for internships with both army and foreign military units either in the continental United States or overseas.<\/p>\n<h3>Advanced Placement<\/h3>\n<p>Prior active duty service members, Army Reservists and National Guardsmen who have completed basic training and high school junior ROTC graduates are eligible for placement directly into the advanced ROTC program (last two years of military science) with the consent of the Chairperson of Military Science. Eligible students request permission from the Chairperson of Military Science to enter the advanced course.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type='text\/css'>.reading-box-container-1 .element-bottomshadow:before,.reading-box-container-1 .element-bottomshadow:after{opacity:0.5;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-1\" style=\"margin-top:45px;margin-bottom:84px;\"><div class=\"reading-box element-bottomshadow\" style=\"background-color:#e8e8e8;border-width:1px;border-color:#f6f6f6;border-top-width:3px;border-top-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;\"><h2>Learning Beyond the Classroom<\/h2><div class=\"reading-box-additional fusion-reading-box-additional\">\n<p>In ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Western\u2019s ROTC program, you will receive outstanding leadership training.
