SHU ROTC training consists of 3 components conducted weekly, physical conditioning, leadership lab, and a Military Science & Leadership class, and one or two weekend field training exercises per semester. Cadets participate in physical fitness training in the morning before their college day begins. Leadership labs and classes are conducted on Fridays. Many of the training requirements vary for the respective freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, with the commitment increasing as your responsibility and academic status progresses. But don't forget, ROTC is a college elective, and the faculty and staff ensure that while you receive exceptional leadership and development training, you also have time to enjoy your college experience.
