Air Force ROTC Through arrangements with Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in west Los Angeles,and the University of Southern California (USC) students may participate in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) program. Aerospace Studies classes and Leadership Laboratories are conducted at various times during the week on the main campus of LMU and USC. AFROTC offers a variety of two, three and four-year scholarships, many of which pay the full costs of tuition, books, and fees. Successful completion of as little as four semesters of AFROTC academic classes and leadership laboratories can lead to a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Classes consist of one hour of academics and two hours of leadership laboratory for freshmen and sophomores; three hours of academics and two hours of leadership laboratory for juniors and seniors. AFROTC cadets under scholarship and all juniors and seniors receive a monthly tax-free stipend and textbook allowance. No military commitment is incurred until entering the last two years of the program (Professional Officer Course) or accepting an AFROTIC scholarship. For more information, contact the Department of Aerospace Studies (AFROTC) at one of the following universities: Loyola Marymount University at (310) 338-2770, or University of Southern California at (213) 740-2670.
officers. Since the Army is in a number of countries across the world, it is critical that young officers understand different cultures to ensure the building of strong relationships. Advanced course students have an opportunity to attend overseas Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) for three weeks between their junior and senior years. CTLT gives cadets a chance to serve as acting platoon leaders with an actual active duty U. S. Army unit. Many of the CTLT positions are with overseas units in Korea and Europe. Additionally, commissioned second lieutenants selected for active duty will have the opportunity to serve at duty stations all over the world, work with fellow Military officers from other countries, attend foreign Military schools and immerse themselves in the culture of their host nation while they live and work there. Interested contracted cadets with strong cumulative grade point averages and who are physically fit have the opportunity to be sent to a three- week Army Airborne school or the 10-day Air Assault School. Further Information Biola University students who desire more information regarding this program may email or call: armyrotc@fulleton.edu or (657) 278- 3007.
