The CSUS Department of Aerospace Studies offers a two-, three-, or four-year programs leading to a commission in the U.S. Air Force. About 30 percent of the corps commute to CSUS from UC Davis. All course work (12 or 16 semester units) is completed on the CSUS campus. Drills and coures are normally offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Field training is conducted at an active Air Force base during part of the summer, normally between the student's sophomore and junior years.
Upon completion of the program (integrated with UC Davis' quarter system) and all requirements for a bachelor's degree, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air Force and serve a minimum of four years on active duty. Graduates who are qualified and are selected may enter pilot or navigator training after graduation, or serve in a specialty consistent with their academic major, individual goals, and existing Air Force needs. Graduates may request a delay of entry to active duty to continue their education or may apply for Air Force sponsored graduate study to begin immediatetly upon entry to active duty. Due to firm scheduling requirements for the AFROTC program, students are encouraged to work closely with their academic advisers in planning their academic program.
AFROTC offers 3-year and 2-year scholarships to qualified students. Applications are accepted in any academic discipline; however, particular emphasis is given to applicants in the fields of engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics.
Application should normally be no later than the first quarter of a student's sophomore year. Juniors, seniors, and graduate students may also apply under certain conditions. Contact the Unit Officer in the Aerospace Studies Department at CSUS (916-278-7315) for information.
