2- and 4-Year Programs
The final two years of the four-year program comprise the Professional Officer Course (POC). It consists of four three-credit Aerospace Studies courses, a non-credit leadership laboratory each semester, and PT twice weekly. POC cadets earn a monthly stipend, tax-free subsistence allowance during the academic year and incur a military obligation after graduation. To be accepted into the POC, students must pass a physical examination, Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT), a physical fitness test, and meet certain academic standards. Cadets must compete for an enrollment allocation for field training which is normally administered the summer before POC entry.
