The Military Science Department offers hands-on training in management and leadership. The program stresses the following leadership dimensions: oral and written communications, oral presentations (formal briefings), initiative, sensitivity, influence, planning and organizing, delegation, administrative control, problem analysis, judgement, decisiveness, physical stamina, mission accomplishment, and followership. Also stressed are current events, national and international politics, military affairs, ethics training, and human relations with emphasis on eliminating racial and gender discrimination. Management and leadership are taught using the U.S. Army as a model. Military skills (such as drill and ceremonies, map reading, and squad tactics) are taught to the extent necessary to create an environment where students can enter leadership positions and apply theories taught in the classroom. Students learn by doing. The program assists students in all academic fields to prepare for positions of leadership in military or civilian careers.
The department offers two program tracks: (1) a purely academic track, and (2) a precommissioning track for those desiring a commission in the U.S. Army. The academic track entails no obligation to the military and is open to all students. Students pursuing the academic track do not wear a uniform or otherwise participate in extra-curricular activities designed as part of the precommissioning process. Activities for all students include the Ranger Club (a club designed for adventure activites such as rappelling, white-water rafting, orienteering, and patrolling) and intramural sports teams.
Students who desire a commission in the U.S. Army participate in both the academic portion of the program and in the leadership laboratories and extra-curricular activities designed to enhance their leadership and technical skills. They wear uniforms to leadership laboratories and selected classes and become ROTC cadets. Students may be cadets in the lower division courses without incurring a military obligation. Students participating in the upper division precommissioning program incur a military obligation. See below for details. Extra-curricular activites for cadets include an intercollegiate sports team (Ranger Challenge), the university color guard, a military honor society, a rifle/pistol team, and opportunities to participate in field training exercises.
Students are enrolled in military science under one of two programs.
Students are enrolled in the basic course (lower division) for the first two years on a voluntary basis. There is no military obligation associated with attendance in lower division courses. Admission to the advanced course (upper division) is by application from second-year lower division students who meet the academic, physical, and military aptitude requirements. Qualified veterans can enter the advanced course immediately because of their military service experience, upon approval by the Department Chairperson.
Upper division students receive $150 subsistence per month after executing a contract agreeing to complete the course and accept a commission if offered. During the course all military science text books, uniforms and equipment are provided without cost. Students are given leadership development experience at summer camp (advanced camp) between their third and fourth years of the course. Emphasis is on individual participation, leadership development and the capability to function effectively in positions of significant responsibility.
This program is designed for students who have not attended lower division Military Science classes. In lieu of lower division courses an applicant attends a six-week summer camp (basic camp) which is voluntary and carries no military obligation. Applicants are paid for camp attendance and transportation costs. Applications are accepted during the winter and spring terms of the year preceding enrollment in the two-year program. All other provisions explained above for the upper division course apply to the two-year program.
The U.S. Army offers four- and two-year Active Duty and two-year Reserve Forces Duty scholarships to students planning to attend or attending UC Davis. The U.S. Army ROTC scholarship package pays tuition and educational fees and is awarded in three different levels of annual payment, $12,000 (Tier I), $8,000 (Tier II), and $5,000 (Tier III). All applicants will be considered for each level. Also included in all scholarships is a flat rate of $450 per year for textbooks, up to $400 per year for miscellaneous fees such as laboratory, student activity, transcript, and graduation fees, and a subsistence allowance of $150 a month for 10 months for each year that the scholarship is in effect.
The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps four-year Active Duty merit scholarships are awarded to qualified high school seniors in a national competition each year. There are two cycles available for submission of the four-year scholarship application. High school juniors can compete for an Early Cycles scholarship by submitting their application complete and postmarked by July 15 between their junior and senior years. Applicants will receive notification of their final status by November 1. As high school seniors, students compete for the Regular Cycle scholarship by submitting their application complete and postmarked by December 1. Those applicants not selected in the Early Cycle are considered in the Regular Cycle competition. Applicants will receive notification of their final status by March 1 of their senior year in high school. Interested applicants should see their high school counselor for an application or contact UC Davis, Department of Military Science at 916-752-7682.
The three-year Active Duty and two-year Reserve Forces Duty scholarships are awarded to college students who are already attending UC Davis or transferring from a junior college to UC Davis, and have three or two years remaining before graduating with a baccalaureate. Students interested in competing for these scholarships can submit their application beginning in November of each school year. The deadline for submission of an application is January 15 for the two-year scholarship and February 15 for the three-year scholarship. Additionally, students may win a two-year scholarship at the six-week summer camp (basic camp) in the Two-Year Program mentioned above. Students apply for these Army scholarships through the Military Science Department.
During the course of the school year, several weekends and two hours per week are spent in the conduct of practical exercises. Classes emphasize adventure activities including offense, defense and patrolling techniques, weapons familiarization, rappelling, rope bridging, obstacle courses, leadership reaction course, and land navigation. All cadets are required to attend leadership laboratories for practical leadership experience and to prepare for attendance at the Army ROTC Advanced Camp, held at Fort Lewis, Washington.
During the program of study, students will become familiar with the MQS System, which is designed to articulate skills and knowledge that are required of ROTC commissionees to begin military service. The components of the MQS System include: military skills, professional knowledge, and a professional military education.
The military skills component consists of 73 military skills which are categorized into 12 subject areas. They are basic soldiering tasks fundamental to the military professional and serve as the basis for future branch-directed specialty training.
The 24 professional knowledge subjects familiarize cadets with the history, customs and traditions, leadership and ethics, administration, organization, and training of the U.S. Army.
The professional military education component consists of two essential parts--a baccalaureate degree and at least one undergraduate course from each of five designated fields of study. Cadets must take a course in written communication, military history, human behavior, math reasoning, and computer literacy.
College of Letters and Science. The Bachelor of Arts degree requires the completion of 180 units. Military Science courses are counted in the allowance for electives.
College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture requires the completion of 180 units. Military Science courses are counted in the unit allowance for electives.
College of Engineering. Military Science units are acceptable toward the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree to the extent of the unrestricted elective units available in the curriculum being followed.

The Bachelor of Arts degree in music provides both a broad liberal arts education and the skills necessary to explore music through its history, theory and performance. A fundamental grounding in music theory, music history, and performance during the first two years of study leads to more specialized study of composition, history, criticism, or performance during the last two years of undergraduate work.
Student Performing Activities. The Department of Music presents over 100 concerts each year, offering performance opportunities for both majors and non-majors in the UCD Symphony Orchestra, University Chorus, Concert Band, Early Music Ensemble, Baroque Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Singers, Gospel Choir, and numerous chamber ensembles. Also affiliated with the department are the UC Davis Jazz Band, and the Cal Aggie Marching Band.
The large groups regularly present three concerts each year, while chamber ensembles perform frequently in the weekly Thursday Noon Concerts. Performance groups have collaborated with the Department of Dramatic Art in productions of musical theater and opera. Study of instruments and voice with professional performers and teachers is required of all majors. Similar opportunities exist for talented non-majors.
Faculty and Facilities. The faculty is noted for its acheivements in a variety of areas. The musicologists are active in research, writing, and performance; the music of the composers is performed and recorded nationally and internationally. Two music journals are edited by members of the department, 19th Century Music and Beethoven Forum.
The regular faculty is joined during one quarter each year by a visiting Artist-in-Residence, a distinguished performer who gives public concerts and lectures and who works with students informally. Professional performance groups in residence at UC Davis include the UC Davis Wind Quintet, the UC Davis Contemporary Players, and the Theater of Voices.
The department's facilities include a large collection of Renaissance, Baroque, and modern instruments, an electronic and computer music studio, practice and rehearsal rooms, and an excellent music library with some 20,000 recordings, CDs, laser discs and videos. In addition, the library houses the Jan Popper collection of opera scores, books, and memorabilia.
Career Alternatives. Many students who graduate with a degree in music continue on to careers in medicine, law, or business. According the the American Medical Association, the undergraduate major with the highest rate of acceptance into medical school is not chemistry or physics, but music. Students who graduate with a B.A. in music from UC Davis have gone on to graduate programs in music at major universities and conservatories in the country. Some have become professors at distinguished universities or have received teaching credentials to teach at primary or secondary schools; others have become editors or found employment in music advertising or record companies.
