What is ROTC?

Air Force ROTC offers a Three or Four-Year Program.

The program begins with the General Military Course. As a freshman or sophomore, you'll normally attend one hour of class and two hours of Leadership Laboratory each week. As a freshman, you'll study the role of the Air Force in the modern world; as a sophomore, the history of the Air Force. Before entering the Professional Officer Course, you'll attend a four-week summer Field Training that offers you a firsthand look at the Air Force environment.

During your junior and senior years, you'll complete the Professional Officer Course where you will study management principles, national defense policy and also manage, organize, direct, and evaluate the cadet wing activities. During Leadership Laboratory, you will learn about Air Force customs and courtesies, develop leadership and management skills and explore Air Force officer career opportunities.

When you complete the ROTC program and receive your degree, you will be commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. Non-flying officers serve a 4-year commitment on active duty, navigators serve 6 years after training, and pilots 10 years after training.
