Air Force ROTC

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) Detachment 045 at San Jose State University (SJSU) is a four-year program that develops cadets into leaders of character and prepares them for commissioning into the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. In tandem with fulfilling their degree requirements, cadets cultivate both physical and leadership capabilities essential for various career paths upon graduation.

AFROTC offers many exciting opportunities both during the school year and over the summer. Cadets can earn their private pilot’s license, get their parachute wings with the Air Force Academy Freefall program, intern at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, spend a semester at the U.S. Air Force Academy as an exchange student, tour Air Force bases, and travel the world through programs funded by the Department of the Air Force. For more information, visit the AFROTC Professional Development Training (PDT) page. Cadets can also compete for a variety of scholarships offered by Detachment 045, Arnold Air Society (AAS), and other organizations.
