Why Military Science at Lyon?

Many of the students in the military science course are part of the new Lyon College ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) Program - Scots Detachment. ROTC members can apply for full-tuition scholarships from the Army National Guard, which can be stacked with other scholarships, as well as a monthly stipend for books and living expenses. The leadership skills and experience gained from military science courses are valuable for any career, not just military service.

Ways To Get Involved 

Students can participate in Lyon College ROTC, a four-year program that trains future officers of the United States Army, Army Reserves, or National Guard. Cadets who have prior service and have completed basic combat training are only required to take the junior- and senior-level courses. Physical fitness training is a required part of the ROTC curriculum. Additionally, a two-hour lab is conducted each week to put classroom knowledge into practical application.
