    Minor in Leadership Studies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Corps of Cadets is designed to teach and develop certain personal characteristics, including teamwork, problem solving, and communication. This is accomplished through practical application in a series of varied and progressively responsible job assignments and commitment to leadership and character development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A minor in Leadership Studies is awarded through the academic coursework and satisfactory completion of leadership progression within the Corps. The 18-hour curriculum is only open to members of the Corps. Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) courses are intended for students who are members of the Corps of Cadets. Unless contracted with the Army or Air Force, cadets who participate in the Texan Corps are under no obligation to serve in the Armed Services. All freshman and sophomore, non-contracted cadets must enroll in Army or Air Force ROTC courses to maintain membership in the Corps. Juniors and Seniors enroll in leadership courses based on their status as a contracted or non-contracted cadet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The minor in Leadership Studies is intended to develop well educated leaders of character who are prepared to provide values-based leadership and service for the public and private sectors. The 18 hour curriculum prepares students to be effective industry, community, organization and military leaders. Students explore leadership roles in their future contexts, develop an awareness of personal leadership styles, and apply leadership characteristics and models to future professional experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This minor complements the applied learning experience aspect of cadet life within the Tarleton Corps of Cadets program. The courses combine participation and operation in the Corps to teach the students discipline, perseverance, respect for authority, and the ability to lead. The minor in Leadership Studies builds on those practical experiences with an academic focus on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
