Air Force ROTC Programs at California Colleges

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) programs provide military training to college students in preparation for a term of service as an Air Force Officer. AFROTC cadets take aerospace courses for credit and also attend an annual training exercise during summer break. Most California colleges host an AFROTC unit or have a cross-town affiliate agreement with a college that does. Cadets at cross-town affiliate schools attend their school full time but take their AFROTC courses at nearby campus that hosts a detachment.

    San Diego State University

    • SDSU hosts AFROTC Detachment 75. Like other units, Detachment 75 cadets must complete summer training programs if they want to be considered for a commission after graduation. However, assignment to a summer Field Training exercise is not automatic. It has to be earned based on performance in AFROTC activities, academic grades and physical fitness test scores. Detachment 75 offers a Field Training Preparation course for cadets in their second year to help increase their chances at a summer Field Training assignment. Some of the summer programs available to cadets include Glider School, Jump School, Space Orientation and and assignment with the Office of Special Investigation.
