The Minor in Military Science is open to all UNC Charlotte students, regardless if they are willing to contract with the United States Army.  A Minor in Military Science provides expertise in leadership, ethics, professionalism, briefing techniques, national security issues, American history, team-building, and military law, as well as written and oral communication skills.  Experience gained through this minor would be an advantage to any student interested in future government employment.  Applications to request this minor must be processed by the Department of Military Science.

The minor provides students with an opportunity to study leadership in a contemporary operational environment with a focus on military involvement in political decisions, while also recognizing that the academic study of Military Science is intrinsically linked to political and international relations with focus on particular aspects of leadership.  In addition to taking courses in Military Science, students participating in this minor would select a course pertaining to military history-related topics that impact the social, economic, and political environment.

All program-level Admissions and Progression Requirements are in addition to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Admission Requirements .
