The Air Force Officer Education Program prepares you to become an Air Force Officer while earning a college degree. Air Force ROTC offers a variety of scholarships that will help relieve the financial burden of your college education. That way, you can focus on preparing for your future and making the most of your college experience. You will be able to hone your time-management skills, analytical skills, and physical fitness. It won’t be easy, but if you’re up to the challenge, the rewards will last a lifetime.
Four-year and Three-Year Programs.
Air Force ROTC offers a four-year and a three-year program. Upon graduation, cadets are commissioned as 2nd lieutenants.
- The four-year plan is comprised of eight terms of courses in Aerospace Studies (AERO), as well as a two-week field training course at an Air Force base that will occur between a cadets’ sophomore and junior years.
- The three-year program is designed for college students with three years of school remaining. Three year cadets will make up the first year of ROTC by taking both freshman and sophomore level courses during their first year in ROTC.
Cadets may enroll in either the four-year or three-year programs by permission of the Air Force ROTC Detachment Commander.
Military obligation
After commissioning, graduates of the Air Force ROTC program are called to active duty with the Air Force in a field usually related to their academic degree program. The period of service is four years for non-flying officers, six years for navigators/ air battle managers/ RPA pilots, and ten years for pilots after flight training. A contractual obligation is established for non-scholarship students when they attend their first Professional Officer Course (POC) after field training. Scholarship students in the four-year High School Scholarship Program incur a contractual obligation upon entering their sophomore year of AFROTC, whereas in-college scholarships awardees incur a contractual obligation once they accept a scholarship.
