Through a cooperative agreement with Wright State University’s Department of Aerospace Studies, we offer the ROTC program to full-time Cedarville University students pursuing a baccalaureate or master’s degree. While all courses are taken through Cedarville University, leadership laboratories and classes for junior and senior years are taught at Wright State University, the host site of the area Air Force ROTC detachment. Cedarville University provides transportation. The Air Force ROTC program is designed to produce Air Force officers who will be successful leaders and managers. All officers will be placed in positions of responsibility, facing challenging and rewarding career opportunities while using the most advanced technology in the world. The Air Force ROTC program is organized in two portions: the General Military Course (GMC), typically taken during freshman and sophomore years, and the Professional Officer Course (POC), usually taken during junior and senior years or during the last two years prior to graduation. At minimum, officers will need to complete the POC portion of the program. • The GMC is a no-obligation introduction to the Air Force. The course covers the development and history of air power and the organization of the contemporary United States Air Force. • The POC curriculum covers communicative skills, Air Force management and leadership, American defense policy, and regional world studies. Air Force ROTC students have additional opportunities to participate in challenging and rewarding activities which include skydiving, piloting a sail-plane, trips to air force bases around the world, orientation flights, official military functions and ceremonies, and one-on-one mentoring with an active duty Air Force officer. This program is open to all majors . All Air Force ROTC students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships that pay partial or full tuition, books, and fees, plus a $250 - $400 monthly stipend depending on your progress in the program. These scholar- ships are available on a competitive basis to students who demonstrate academic and leadership potential. Scholarships with the greatest availability are in the areas of engineering, mathematics, computer science, physics, and nursing. If you are a freshman seeking a challenge or wish to give Air Force ROTC a trial run, sign up for the Aerospace Studies 1200 course.
