| What is Air Force ROTC? |
| Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is an educational program that gives students the opportunity to become an Air Force officer while completing a degree. |
| |
| Air Force ROTC is generally done over four years, but can be completed in as little as two. As a member of Air Force ROTC, you take ROTC classes, much like other classes. You also participate in leadership lab, physical training, and other ROTC activities. |
| |
| General Military Course (GMC) - This is the first two years of ROTC, generally taken during your freshman and sophomore year. This program allows you to “try out”Air Force ROTC without any obligation. |
| |
| Professional Officer Course (POC) - This is the last half of the program. Entry into this phase of the course is competitive. The junior and senior level courses cover more advanced topics related to leadership studies and aerospace power. |
| |
| Field Training - During the summer (usually after your sophomore year), you will participate in field training. This rigorous program involves physical conditioning, weapons training and survival training. It is also your opportunity to develop your skills as both a leader and team member. Field Training is required for all cadets who seek membership in the Professional Officer Course (POC) |
