Aerospace Studies/ROTC
Our department is home to the award-winning Air Force ROTC Detachment 847.
Here, you will gain the professional leadership, management and communication skills you need to be a successful officer in the U.S. Air Force or Space Force. You will also gain practical experience through several unique programs and by working with airmen from the local Goodfellow Air Force Base.
This spring semester, full tuition and books costs are completely paid for all active Det. 847 cadets, thanks to the generous ROTC Carr and ROTC Wright scholarship funds. Just another great reason to choose ASU and Det. 847 for your academic and cadet experience.
