Officer Education - Courses of Study 1996-97


Description of Courses

General Information

Military instruction began at Cornell University in 1868 under the provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862. Since that time, officer education has been highlighted by the construction of Barton Hall in 1914, establishment of a formal Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) unit in 1917, and the evolution of a program that, while teaching drill and ceremonies, places greater emphasis on the development of leadership and managerial skills. Throughout the years, Cornell's program of officer education has produced many outstanding civilian and military leaders.
