Aerospace Studies/Air Force ROTC

As the best aviation school in the nation and our partnerships with a neighboring Air Force base, the Aerospace Studies program provides everything you need to become an officer.

Coursework is divided into eight classes, two of which are taken each year during your normal academic studies. The general military courses you'll take cover the mission and structure of the Air Force. As part of the Leadership Laboratory, you'll hone your skills in a supervised setting, which can include field trips to installations throughout the United States.

After graduation from UND and the Aerospace Studies program, you'll be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force with a head start on your military career.

Aerospace Studies/Air Force ROTC Careers

Air Force ROTC graduates have opportunities in over 250 specialized fields. From technical studies like engineering and nursing to communication or aviation, your options are endless.
