Air Force ROTC's goal is to recruit, educate, train, and commission officer candidates through a campus program to meet the needs of the world's greatest Air Force. Most cadets go through a 4-year program. Freshmen and sophomore cadets are required to complete one Aerospace Studies course per semester. It's a one credit course that meets once a week for 50 minutes. Freshmen learn about the structure and mission of the Air Force and take a look at military life.
Sophomores study the development of air power.
You may also participate in base visitations and orientation flights. Sophomores can complete the entire GMC in one academic year by double-enrolling. Continuation beyond the sophomore year is not automatic and selection is based on merit. In addition, you must also successfully complete a 4-week field training camp at an Air Force base the summer prior to your junior year, with pay. At field training, you will receive junior officer training, aircraft and aircrew orientation, survival training, weapons familiarization, and physical training.
