(4-year) program consisting of the basic and the advanced course conducted at these institutions. The senior division program provides the military training and the institution curriculums provide the academic training required for appointment as a commissioned officer through the ROTC.

(2) Satellite college (branch unit). Certain colleges and universities are affiliated with satellite or feeder institutions located on separate campuses. The basic course (senior division) is conducted at such institutions when authorized.

(b) Military schools division. The military schools division Army ROTC provides a program of instruction in essentially military secondary schools and junior colleges. Military science training (MST) 1 through 4 is conducted at military secondary schools and MST 1 through 6 is conducted at military junior colleges. The military schools division program is limited to the essentially military secondary schools and junior colleges currently established. The 6year military schools division program provides the institutional phase of the military instruction required for appointment as a commissioned officer. A graduate of a military junior college who has completed MST 6 thereat must satisfactorily complete ROTC camp training and obtain a baccalaureate degree in order to be eligible for a commission.

(c) Junior division. The junior division Army ROTC consists of training units established at secondary level educational institutions. These units conduct a 3-year course of instruction in military fundamentals comprised of military training courses (MT 1 through 3). A junior unit may be established at a single institution or may include several schools in a city, town, or county system. Each school in a multipleschool unit conducts the complete junior program.

less than 300 male students are enrolled as members at all times throughout the academic year.

(b) Require all members of the corps of cadets to be in appropriate uniform at all times while on campus.

(c) House all members of the corps of cadets in barracks separate from nonmembers of the corps of cadets.

level of instruction which meet the military training requirements of class MC or class MJC and accept and maintain the specially designated program of instruction for this class of institution.
