Air and Space Force Science Courses:
The ROTC program is comprised of the General Military Courses (Freshman/ Sophomore) and the Professional Officer Courses (Junior/Senior). The General Military Courses are designed to introduce students to military leadership, develop basic leadership skills, and present individual challenges. The Professional Officer Courses are focused on preparing students to serve as leaders in the United States Air Force and Space Force.
All General and Professional Courses include both classroom work and a weekly leadership lab. Weekend activities are also occasionally required for enrolled students. Physical Training for Cadets occurs on Tuesday and Thursday of each week at 6:00 am on Clark Field.
