Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC)
Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC)
The Air Force Officer Education Program prepares you to become an Air Force Officer while earning a bachelor’s degree. Air Force ROTC does have scholarship opportunities that students in the program can compete for during their freshman and sophomore years.

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 Field Training course at Maxwell 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. They will then attend Field Training between a cadets’ sophomore and junior years.
Cadets may enroll in either the four-year or three-year programs by permission of the Air Force ROTC Detachment Commander. If you have at least 2.5 years left until graduation, please contact us. There are ways to tailor the program to meet AFROTC requirements but match your graduation timeline.
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.
