Course description (exactly as it will appear in the catalog, including prerequisites):

N/A

The weekly leadership laboratory(now designated MILS 0000 is presently taught in conjunction with MILS 3010, 3020, 4010 and 4020 as a separate required but uncredited course. Lower division courses (MILS 1010, 1020, 2010 and 2020 also require registration for lab. The Military Science Department proposes to drop MILS 0000 as a separate lab course, merge the lab with the upper division courses (MILS 3010, 3020, 4010 and 4020), and increase credit hours from 3 to 4 for each upper division course. (Please see course proposal forms for each, as well as the program change form). The leadership lab will also be included with present lower division courses (MILS 1010, 1020, 2010 and 2020), but no credit assignment is asked.) Leadership lab is a component of the U.S. Army ROTC curriculum leading to commissioning of second lieutenants.
