Oregon State University Be descriptive for better results. The mission of Air Force ROTC is to provide professional preparation for future Air Force officers. The Department of Air Force Studies offers students, in virtually all academic areas, the opportunity to qualify for a commission in the United States Air Force while simultaneously completing University undergraduate or graduate degree requirements. Today's Air Force is a highly technologically advanced branch of the military forces.
Graduates go on active duty in career fields where they can apply their education.
Additionally, they assume advanced leadership and management responsibilities not normally found in civilian entry level positions. The Air Force ROTC approach to education encourages inquiry, analysis, critical thinking, imagination, judgment, and individual participation, on the part of each student. Air Force studies courses are open to all University students. The Department of Air Force Studies offers a minor which is open to any OSU student. The minor is designed to give students a broad exposure to the concepts of aerospace power, leadership and management, and general military studies.
