Program Requirements

Air Force ROTC courses consist of two classes every week and three exercise (Physical Training) sessions. Courses are designed to teach leadership, communication skills, cultural lessons, airpower history, and other skills vital to leading in today's Air Force.

To participate in Air Force ROTC, add the following to your schedule and attend class. We'll cover programs to obtain an In College Scholarship in class.

NOTE: Air Force courses require an 80% attendance rate to receive a passing grade.
Courses are taught at Barker Hall, University of Kentucky.
