Students can earn a ROTC leadership studies minor from CU. The program is under the Porter-Bouvette School of Business and Economics at CU.

Students attend WKU for one day each week, and CU provides transportation to Western. The rest of the student's studies will be on the campus of Campbellsville University.

Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, said, "Military students bring a high degree of maturity, life experiences, diversity, leadership and worldliness to the classroom.
