Military science is concerned primarily with the exploration and development of leadership and management. Students who want to develop such skills pursue studies in military science in addition to their majors and minors. Students register for these courses at UW-Green Bay and the classes are conducted at St. Norbert College.

Military science consists of a core curriculum of military skills and professional knowledge integrated in both basic and advanced courses. The ultimate purpose of the program is to provide college-trained officers for the U.S. Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. The program encourages participants to more fully develop personal qualities, including sense of duty, integrity, loyalty, respect, selfless service and honor, necessary for military leadership.

The program is conducted by the Reserve Officers Training Corp (ROTC) located at St. Norbert College. Completion of the advanced ROTC courses and a baccalaureate degree provides opportunities for full- or part-time careers as officers in the U.S. Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve.
