ARMY ROTC The Army Reserve Officer Training Corps pro gram is avai lable to all qualified students of Biola University through the Military Science Department of UCLA.

This training includes an in-depth study of the military establish ment, military history, tactics, leadership principles, management and many other basic skills necessary to build motivated, effective leaders. PROGRAMS The military science curriculum is divided into two parts. Basic Course is the first two years of lower division study during which students complete 12 units of leadership classes. Advanced Course is the last two years of upper division study consisting of 14 units of leadership classes, and a six week sum mer camp typically between junior and senior years. (Cadets receive an allowance for travel expenses and are paid for attending this camp.) Students who did not enroll in Army ROTC as a freshman or a sophomore can receive equivalent credit in several different ways (see "Two.:Year Program" below). Admission to the Advanced Course is limited to students who meet all academic and phys ical requirements. Students in this course receive a sub sistence allowance of $100 a month for 10 months during each of the two academic years, plus military service books and uniforms. After completion of th e Advanced Course and coll ege, students are eligible to be commissioned as second lieutenants in one of the Army's 17 specialty areas in either the Army Nanonal Guard, Army Reserve, or Active Army. Students' desires are a major factor in determining which service option is selected. The active duty obligation for those students selected to enter the National Guard or Army Reserve is typically four months. Students entering the Active Army serve longer periods. ROTC stu dents desiring to obtain advanced degrees may be granted a delay in reporting to their initial assignment. SCHOLARSHIP Scholarships are avail able on a national and regional basis.
