Higher education with an emphasis on military leadership.

The Military Science program is a cooperative enterprise among E&H, East Tennessee State University (ETSU), and the United States Army.

The program is designed to develop the students’ managerial and leadership abilities, introduce students to the mission and organization of the United States Army and prepare advanced-course students for service as commissioned officers in the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard.
