MSCI 4001. DEVELOPING ADAPTIVE LEADERS. (3-0-3)

MSCI 4001 develops student proficiency in planning, executing, and assessing complex operations, functioning as a member of a staff, and providing leadership-performance feedback to subordinates. Students are given situational opportunities to assess risk, make ethical decisions, and provide coaching to fellow ROTC students. MSL IV Cadets are measured by their ability both to give and receive systematic and specific feedback on leadership abilities. Cadets at the MSL IV level analyze and evaluate the leadership values, attributes, skills, and actions of MSL III Cadets while simultaneously considering their own leadership skills. Weekly requirements: three hours and 2 hour 45 minute leadership lab, plus required participation in three to five one-hour sessions of physical fitness training. Staff meetings with peers and participation in weekend exercises is also required.
