Air Force ROTC Detachment 867
The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Norwich University is an educational program designed to provide cadets with the opportunity to become Air Force officers while completing their degrees. The Air Force ROTC program is designed to prepare cadets to assume positions of increasing responsibility and importance in the modern Air Force.
Air Force ROTC Four-Year Program
The General Military Course is the first half of the Four-Year Program, and it's taken during your freshman and sophomore years. This program allows you to "try out" Air Force ROTC for up to two years without incurring any obligation unless you are on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. As you attend class, you'll learn more about the Air Force and the historical development of airpower.
The last two years are called the Professional Officer Course. These junior and senior level classes cover leadership skills and national defense policy.
Air Force ROTC Two-Year Program
This program, also called the Professional Officer Course, is primarily available to junior college transfer students, sophomores, and veterans who have approximately two years remaining (undergraduate, graduate, or a combination of the two) before entering the Air Force. It's especially suited for those who major in selected scientific and technical areas such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. This program is highly competitive, so it's important to apply early in your sophomore year. The leadership and national defense policy courses are the same as those offered the last two years of the Four-Year Program.
