ROTC

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is a nationwide program that allows students to earn a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force (USAF) or Space Force (USSF) while simultaneously attending college. AFROTC consists of four years of Aerospace Studies classes covering the Foundations of the USAF, the Evolution of USAF and Space Power, Air Force Leadership Studies, and National Security Affairs/Preparation for Active Duty. Students will also attend a corresponding Leadership Laboratory each semester focusing on leadership skills, effective communication, physical fitness, and military customs and courtesies. College students enrolled in the AFROTC program who successfully complete both AFROTC training and college degree requirements will graduate and simultaneously commission as Second Lieutenants in the Active Duty USAF or USSF. Classes are offered at California State University, San Bernardino; however, students at many other area universities may enroll using our crosstown agreement. All eligible crosstown universities along with AFROTC program information can be found at Air Force ROTC at CSUSB. For questions contact the Aerospace Studies Department, FO-144, (909) 537-5440. AFROTC course descriptions are listed in the Courses A-Z section of this bulletin. Program details are listed under the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Programs.

The Army ROTC is a two or four year program which leads to a commission in the U.S. Army and trains students for positions of responsibility in the active Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard. The university has the only ROTC program in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Scholarships, simultaneous enrollment in the National Guard or Army Reserve, specialized summer training, and other challenging activities are some of the benefits of the program. Students may attend ROTC classes on this campus, and attend any of the other two- or four-year colleges in the area.
