• MILS 2201 - Basic Leadership I

  This is a sophomore-level course intended to be a bridge between MILS I and MILS III where cadets are all contracted and are preparing for the Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC). Students will learn to give presentations to improve their oral communication skills and will be required to prepare and present one (1) ten minute briefing focusing on at least one of the Army Values (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage). Students must research and develop their briefings based on factual military event/operation/situation, etc. that illustrate the value(s). The curriculum involves understanding how to build teams, how to influence, communicate orally and give a briefing or presentation to a group, make sound and timely decisions, engage in creative problem solving, and effectively plan and organize cadet events. The curriculum is, for the most part, a "hands-on" experience. There are several graded tests on various subjects throughout the semester. Prerequisites: Successful completion of MILS 1101 or 4 years of Junior ROTC or successful prior miltary service and concurrent enrollment in MILS 2111. Semester Hours 2 (2 Lec) view syllabus
