Electronic Media (A.A.S.)
Major code AA5013
Ohio University-Zanesville and Ohio University-Southern offer a two-year program of study leading to an Associate in Applied Science in electronic media. The program is founded on the belief that through intensive individualized instruction in a hands-on atmosphere, you can prepare in only two years for a beginning position in the electronic media (radio or TV stations, cable TV, or production houses).
Along with those who want a production-intensive education, high school graduates who are not academically prepared to begin their college careers in the School of Telecommunications on the Athens campus can benefit from the associate's program. The program presents you with the opportunity to sharpen your skills before relocating to the School of Telecommunications on the Athens campus. More than 90 percent of those students who complete the associate's degree and then relocate to Athens secure a bachelor's degree. (A 3.0 g.p.a. is expected for relocation to Athens.) Others who complete the A.A.S. degree move immediately into communications positions.
The radio-TV studios feature the latest in multitrack audio recording, radio operations, and computerized video editing equipment. The state-of-the-art facilities, broadly based curriculum, small classes, and internships have proven invaluable for students who want to obtain a full view of the field of electronic media. The department is particularly proud of the fact that between 75 and 95 percent of all electronic-media students spend time as interns or part-time employees at area stations during enrollment. Recent graduates are now working throughout the United States in the communication industry.

Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC)
The rationale for reserve officer training stems from a statement by the founders of this nation that we must "provide for the common defense." If you have the desire and talent to dedicate your time to the service of your country, there are many and varied rewards. Today, when science and technology are so much a part of the national defense, and the defense of this nation is so inextricably involved with world problems, our nation needs talented and well trained officers in its military services. These services need the best leaders, managers, administrators, engineers, and scientists the nation's schools can produce to be officers with wide ranges of knowledge and skill. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps, in agreement with universities and colleges, is designed to produce these types of men and women for the nation.
The Air Force ROTC program at Ohio University is under the Aerospace Studies department; the Army ROTC program is under the Military Science department.
ROTC is divided into two phases: the basic course and the advanced course. The university offers a two-year and a four-year program.
Notice: The ROTC programs at Ohio University may not fully comply with university nondiscrimination policies due to the selective process of military service. However, the ROTC programs are in compliance with national nondiscrimination policies and the guidance and policies of the respective military services and the Department of Defense.
Basic Course Requirements
In general, any undergraduate Ohio University student who is a United States citizen is eligible for enrollment in the basic courses with no commitment. If you are not a United States citizen, you may be enrolled with special permission.
Advanced Course Requirements
To be eligible for the advanced course, you must meet academic, physical aptitude, and moral selection criteria; complete either the basic course on campus or the six-week summer camp/field training following the sophomore or junior year; and enlist in the reserve of appropriate service. Upon graduation, Air Force ROTC cadets receive active duty commissions as second lieutenants. Army ROTC cadets, upon successful completion of the program, are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army, the United States Army Reserve, or the Army National Guard. You may be discharged from the reserve for reasons of academic failure, personal hardship, medical disqualification, or inaptitude.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available on a competitive basis for qualified students. These scholarships pay costs of tuition, lab fees, and books. Additionally, recipients receive a tax-free subsistence allowance of $150 monthly for the period the scholarship is in effect. If you are in the advanced course, you receive subsistence allowances of $150 per month and can qualify for scholarships of $6,000 per year. Room and board incentives may be available to scholarship winners. National Guard 60 percent tuition assistance is also available.
Summer Camp/Field Training Allowances
All travel expenses, board, living quarters, and uniforms are furnished, and you are paid while attending summer camp/field training.
Uniforms and Equipment
Training equipment and complete uniforms are loaned to all ROTC students without cost.
Commissions
If you successfully complete the ROTC advanced course and the requirements for a baccalaureate degree, you will be qualified for the tender of a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army or the United States Air Force.
Special Schooling
The ROTC program encourages graduate study and may delay a call to active duty for up to four years for students enrolled in graduate-level study. Selected officers, after entrance on active duty, are sent to civilian universities or service technical institutes for graduate work leading to a master's degree or to a doctoral degree in specialized fields.
Aerospace Studies Program (Air Force ROTC)
The Aerospace Studies program is designed to develop attitudes and skills required of professional Air Force officers. The goal is to provide you the background knowledge to become an officer in the United States Air Force, while acquiring a baccalaureate degree in a field of your own choosing.
The curriculum during the first two years of the basic program (one credit hour per quarter) is an introduction to topics important to future Air Force officers. It introduces career opportunities and focuses on the doctrine, mission, and organization of the United States Air Force. It also includes studies of the development of air power and present concepts within the Air Force. Included are elements of national power, an overview of the Air Force, a study of democracy, and the actions of nations in their search for world peace.
Concurrently with these academic subjects, you participate in leadership activities called "Leadership Lab." These activities enable you to gain an insight into the dynamics of military leadership, as well as becoming familiar with Air Force customs and courtesies. There is no commitment during the first two years (for nonscholarship cadets), and it is an excellent way for you to look at the Air Force as a career. If you wish to attend the class for academic credit but are not interested in becoming an officer, you need not participate in Leadership Lab. These "special students" are not considered officer candidates and are welcome as classroom space allows. The entire basic program consists of six quarters of study and is entitled the "General Military Course," or GMC.
The advanced curriculum, entitled the "Professional Officer Course," or POC (three credit hours per quarter), is specifically designed to prepare you for active duty as a commissioned officer. Studies include military leadership and principles of management during the junior year. The senior year includes defense policymaking, the military professional, strategy, arms control, and military justice. It emphasizes professional responsibilities of Air Force officers within our democratic society and how the Air Force supports national goals. Through case studies, guest lectures, and dialogue, you experience a realistic simulation of problems facing officers. As a member of the advanced Professional Officer Course, you develop leadership skills by supervising first-year and sophomore cadets in Leadership Lab. You practice communication skills and perform organizational projects similar to those accomplished by active duty Air Force officers. This advanced unit consists of six quarters of on-campus study and a summer field training encampment.
Flight Qualification
Qualified cadets have the additional option of becoming a flight officer. Identification for either pilot or navigator training will be made during your junior year. If you are selected, you will enter USAF pilot or navigator training after graduation and commissioning.
Assignment
After commissioning, you are assigned to a position within the Air Force structure that best combines your academic major and desires with the needs of the Air Force. Past graduates have requested and been assigned to areas of air operations (both flyers and nonflyers); administration, biological, medical, physical, and social sciences; engineering; law; and research and development in aerospace technologies.
Military Science Program (Army ROTC)
The Military Science Program is designed to develop the leadership and management skills required of an officer in the United States Army. The military science curriculum complements your normal coursework for a baccalaureate degree and provides a basis for progression toward a com-mission as an officer in the United States Army. There are two programs: the traditional four-year program, which parallels the normal college program, and the two-year program, which you can enter prior to the last two years of college.
During the first two years or basic course, you take classes (two credit hours per quarter) in general military subjects including an introduction to the Army ROTC program, leadership, land navigation, survival training, and military campaign studies. These courses provide a basic understanding of the military system and a background for the second two years of the program. During the first two years there is no requirement for wearing of uniforms, and no military service obligation is incurred. You may be given credit for the basic course and qualify for continuation in the ROTC program through prior military service, credit for other officer training courses, or current service in the National Guard or Reserves; or by attending a six-week ROTC basic camp, Camp Challenge, during the summer between your sophomore and junior years in lieu of the basic course. Attendance at camp is voluntary and incurs no military service obligation.
The second two years or advanced course expands your knowledge of military subjects including military justice, tactics, ethics and professionalism, management, training, and current issues affecting the military. In addition to the credit courses, the department conducts a leadership laboratory in which all advanced students take part in planning and conducting such adventure-type outdoor training activities as rappelling, survival swimming, marksmanship, physical training, backpacking, and land navigation. Advanced course students are required to attend a six-week summer camp between their junior and senior years. All summer camp expenses, including meals, housing, travel, and uniforms, are paid by the Army. In addition, each cadet is paid approximately $600 in military pay for camp attendance. (This applies to both basic and advanced camps.)
The Department of Military Science also sponsors several extracurricular clubs or activity groups organized by the cadets with faculty advisors, such as the Ranger Club, Color Guard, and Association of the United States Army (AUSA) club. Cadets may be selected on a voluntary basis for attendance at U.S. Army schools such as Airborne (parachutist) School, Air Assault School, and Northern Warfare School.
During the advanced course, you enter into a contract that obligates you to complete the program, accept a commission as an officer, and serve in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserves, or Army National Guard. Upon graduation and commissioning, lieutenants have a variety of assignments and locations (Europe, Far East, and U.S.) in which to complete their military service obligation. Past graduates have been assigned duties in the fields of aviation, material management, communications, administration, and engineering among many other professional fields in the modern Army.
