MSL 291 - Basic Camp

Credit(s): 6
Lecture Hours: 6
Lab Hours: 0
When Offered: Fall, Spring

Training normally is taken during the summer between the second and third years by those students who have not completed basic military training or the required basic military science courses for advanced course enrollment. Training is conducted at a designated U. S. Army installation and includes hands-on, practical leadership training with intensive counseling and feedback. The course focuses on confidence, leadership and team building, along with training skills in basic rifle marksmanship and land navigation. The highlight of the course is a six-day field phase where students will experience a series of challenging leadership opportunities while being mentored and counseled by cadre. The student must register for this course following successful camp completion in order to receive the appropriate credit. A letter grade will be awarded by the Professor of Military Science based on camp results.

Prerequisite(s): Approval of the Professor of Military Science.
