They include programs related to parachuting, space orientation, special investigation, combat training, cadet language immersion, civil engineering, nurse orientation and international immersion.

The first category, basic courses, is open to general military and Professional Officer Course students; the second category is open only to Professional Officer Course students; and the third, most advanced category is open to Professional Office Course students on an Air Force ROTC scholarship.
