Academic Requirements


To become an Air Force officer, you must graduate with a degree. The detachment recognizes that this is one of your top goals. Cadets must strive to excel in their studies and balance it with their responsibilities in ROTC.
Cadets must:

  • Be a full time student.
  • Have a 2.0 cumulative GPA(grade point average) or higher.
  • Have a 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher before becoming a POC
  • Attend at least 80% of LLAB
  • Receive a grade of C- or higher in all Aerospace Studies Classes

As a college student, GPAs and grades can be difficult to maintain.
Due to the increasing importance of academic performance, the cadet wing can help students in their studies. The cadet wing provides tools to network between peers so that you can succeed in college.

To prepare you for the PFA and military duty you must attend 2 PT (Physical Training) sessions each week. One of those sessions must be Wing Mandatory PT. Other PT sessions are offered throughout the week.
