About the Concentration in Leadership

The University of Dallas is committed to supporting students who wish to earn appointments as commissioned officers in the United States Army or Air Force. The Leadership Concentration provides a multidisciplinary program in which students may combine ROTC training with a wide variety of courses from Business, Economics, History, Anthropology and Sociology, Philosophy, Politics and Psychology. The new concentration targets students who are currently enrolled in ROTC training. Its mission is to provide these students with additional knowledge and skills that can further both their military careers and their post-military careers in private enterprise, public service, non-profit organizations, and education.
