profession. The Army ROTC program consists of a two-year Basic Course, which is open to freshmen and sophomores only, and a two-year Advanced Course. Non-scholarship students participating in the Basic Course do not incur any obligation to the U.S. Army. A variety of Army ROTC scholarships are offered. Scholarship provide tuition assistance, a flat rate for textbooks, and a $100 per month subsistence allowance (up to 10 months per year). Admission to ROTC is conditional on meeting academic, physical, and age requirements as well as the approval of the Scholarship Enrollment Officer. Delgado students may only enroll in the Basic Course (MLS 101, 102, 201, and 202). Enrollment in the Advanced Course will follow upon entrance into a Baccalaureate Degree Program (such as UNO or SUNO). Physical training is an integral part of the ROTC program. To be commissioned as an officer, a student must complete either the regular four-year program, a three-year program (whereby the Basic course is compressed into one year), or a two-year program (whereby the Basic Course is compressed into one year), or a two-year program (requiring completion of the summer ROTC Basic Course). Advanced placement for ROTC training may be given to veterans and to students with previous ROTC experience. In addition to these requirements, a student must complete at least one course in the areas of written communication, human behavior, military history, computer literacy, and math logic reasoning. A student with an Army ROTC scholarship must also complete at least one semester of either an Indo-European or Asian language. Uniforms and military science textbooks are issued without cost to all students. Advanced Course students receive a subsistence allowance of $100 per month as well as payment for the Advanced Leadership Camp they must attend prior to completing the Advanced Course. The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) offers two- and four-year programs through which students, upon graduation, can earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force. Through a comprehensive program of both academics and hands-on training, students have the unique opportunity to enhance their interpersonal skills in the areas of communications, teamwork, leadership, and management. Through an agreement with Tulane University and Dillard University, Delgado offers a two-year Air Force and Army Reserve Officers Training Corps program. The courses are taught at Tulane University and at Dillard University. Air Force courses are presently offered only on the Tulane campus and require first and second year students to attend class and lab there on Thursday afternoons of each term enrolled.
