EDUC C51 - Military Life, Culture, & Challenges

(3)

This course introduces students to the distinguishing characteristics of contemporary life in the U.S. military. The course also examines the history and mission of the various U.S. military branches as well as the unique military values, social structure, chain of command, work ethic, job demands, and language that may distinguish active military members and veterans from their civilian counterparts. The course goal is to enable student counselors to connect more readily with military and veteran clients and their families through increased knowledge and sensitivity to those clients’ unique needs.
