Leading to a Commission in the United States Air Force

General Military Course

The General Military Course (GMC) consists of four one-credit courses, which are introductory in nature and open to freshmen or sophomores. Students enrolling in these courses do not incur any military service obligation (Exception: Air Force scholarship recipients incur a commitment at the beginning of their sophomore year.) Course credit values are shown with each course.

Variations in this schedule are possible. Sophomores with no AFROTC experience may enroll in both of the one-credit freshman and sophomore courses concurrently, under the “dual-enrollee” program).

Summer Field Training

Only one Field Training class is required.

Professional Officer Course

The Professional Officer Course (POC) consists of four three-credit courses, which focus on leadership, management, national security studies, and preparation for active duty. Students enrolled in the POC desiring to commission in the Air Force upon graduation must attend these courses. POC students may incur a military service obligation upon graduation even if they do not successfully complete these courses and fail to commission in the Air Force. Course credit values are shown with each course. These courses are open to all college students as electives with the permission of the chairperson of the department.
