The Air Force ROTC offers both the four-year and two-year
commissioning programs for male and female IIT students.
The four-year program consists of the four-semester General
Military Course (GMC) and the four-semester Professional
Officer Course (POC). Students normally start this program
as freshmen but may begin as sophomores by enrolling in
both the freshman- and sophomore-year classes. Students not
on scholarship may withdraw from the GMC at any time.
Two-Year Program
Participants in the POC are selected from qualified volunteer
applicants. An Air Force ROTC-paid, four-week field training
encampment, held at an Air Force base, is required for POC
students. This requirement is normally completed during the
summer between the sophomore and junior years. The major
areas of study during field training include junior officer training,
aircraft and air-crew orientation, career orientation, survival
training, base functions, and the Air Force environment.
The two-year program consists of a paid five-week summer the same as in the four-year program with the addition of the
