Reserve Officer Training Corps/Aerospace Studies
For more than a
century, military
training has been
offered
at Oregon State
University. Fulfilling a
provision of the Morrill
Act of 1862, which
gave Corvallis College
its first public support,
an Army Cadet Corps
was organized in
1873.
t the end of World War II the
Secretary of the Navy commissioned the Department of
Naval Science (NROTC) on
this campus to provide the
training of both Navy and Marine Corps
officers. On July 1, 1949, the U.S. Air Force
activated an AFROTC unit that is called the
Department of Aerospace Studies. OSU is
now one of 33 colleges and universities that
HOW TO ENROLL
See the Army, Navy, or Air Force sections of
this catalog for enrollment details for the
various ROTC programs. All three departments have staff available throughout the
year during normal school hours to answer
any inquiries regarding the ROTC programs.
AEROSPACE STUDIES
offer education for all three military
departments.
Originally, two years of military science
and tactics were required of all able-bodied
male students, but since 1962, ROTC has
been voluntary. Since 1965, two-year
programs have been available for students
who have finished two years of college but
have not taken ROTC previously.
As opportunities for women to serve as
officers in the armed forces grow, opportunities for women to participate in ROTC
programs expand. Women have long been
eligible to take ROTC course work for credit.
Since 1970, they have been enrolled as
cadets in Air Force ROTC and, since 1973,
have also been enrolled as cadets in military
and naval science.
MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
The ROTC selects and prepares young men
and women, through a program of instruc-
tion coordinated with the students' normal
academic curriculum, for commissioning
and service as officers in the regular and
reserve components of the Army, Navy, Air
Force, and Marine Corps.
UNIFORMS AND ALLOWANCES
Students in each of the units receive
uniforms to be worn at drill periods and on
special occasions. During the final two
years, students receive $100 a month
subsistence pay for up to 20 months. Travel
to and from any summer camps or cruises is
paid. While at camp or on cruise, the
members receive food and quarters at
government expense in addition to basic
pay. (See the individual sections for further
information on the various camps and
cruises.) Those selected for the scholarship
programs receive tuition, books, and fees
plus $100 a month subsistence pay for up to
40 months.
FLIGHT TRAINING
Eligible Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC
students may be selected for flight training
upon their successful completion of the
program and commissioning. Selected Air
Force ROTC students may participate in a
flight instruction program between their
junior and senior years at government
expense as a prerequisite to pilot training
after commissioning.

Aerospace Studies
he mission of Air Force ROTC is to
provide professional preparation for
future Air Force officers. The Department of Aerospace Studies offers students,
in virtually all academic areas, the opportu-
T
nity to qualify for a commission in the
United States Air Force while simultaneously completing University undergraduate or graduate degree requirements.
Today's Air Force is a highly technologically advanced branch of the military forces.
Whether a student's interest lies in flying
the most advanced aircraft in the world or
in the development of state-of-the-art
technology, the Air Force can offer exciting
and challenging opportunities to those who
qualify. Graduates go on active duty in
career fields where they can apply their
education.
Additionally, they assume advanced
leadership and management responsibilities
not normally found in civilian entry level
positions. The Air Force ROTC approach to
education encourages inquiry, analysis,
critical thinking, imagination, judgment,
and individual participation, on the part of
each student. Aerospace studies courses are
open to all University students.

PROGRAMS
Two Air Force ROTC programs are available.
Students who qualify may elect to pursue
either of these programs.
Four-Year Program
The four-year program consists of the
General Military Course: six quarters of
lower division Aerospace Studies classes,
including a laboratory each quarter, and the
Professional Officer Course: six quarters of
upper division aerospace studies classes,
including a laboratory each quarter.
Previous military experience (ROTC,
academy, or military service) may allow the
professor of Aerospace Studies to waive all
or part of the General Military Course
(freshman and sophomore years) for
students enrolled in the four-year AFROTC
program.
Students may enter the freshman class at
the start of fall, winter or spring quarter.
Sophomore students may enter at the start
of fall quarter and take the freshman and
sophomore level courses concurrently.
Prior to enrolling in the last two years of
the program, the Professional Officer
Course, the student must meet AFROTC
qualification standards and requirements.
Two-Year Program
This program provides an opportunity for
students who did not elect the four-year
ROTC program. Entry is on a competitive
basis. Application should be made early
during fall term of the student's sophomore
year. Selectees attend mandatory six-week
summer field training (AS 306) prior to their
junior year of college. Applicants must have
two years remaining in college after the sixweek field training. This may be undergraduate or graduate work or a combination. The curriculum includes AS 306 (sixweek field training); AS 300-series and AS
400-series, including a laboratory each
quarter.
COMMITMENTS
Cadets in the four-year program incur no
obligation during their first two years in
AFROTC unless on scholarship. The student
agrees to accept commission, if offered, only
after enrolling in AS 311. Scholarship
students incur a commitment at the
beginning of their sophomore year. Upon
accepting their commission, pilots incur an
obligation of eight years after completion of
pilot training; navigators incur a six-year
obligation after initial training; and all
others agree to serve for four years following
commissioning.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships are available for qualified
students. High school seniors interested in
applying should consult their high school
counselors in their junior year or early in
their senior year. University students in the
four-year AFROTC program compete for
scholarships twice a year on the basis of
grade-point average, Air Force Officer
Qualifying Test scores, Scholastic Aptitude
Test scores, and a personal interview. Special
scholarship programs are available for
students majoring in pharmacy, computer
engineering, math, or computer science
(majors subject to change). Special scholarship programs are also available to minorities in all majors. Students receiving
scholarships must be able to complete the
Air Force ROTC program, receive degree,

veterans). Scholarship cadets must also
complete one year of a foreign language, an
English composition course, and a mathematical reasoning course. Each scholarship
covers the cost of tuition, laboratory fees,
incidental expenses, textbooks, and an
allowance of $100 a month.
For students who are not selected for any
other scholarship program, the Air Force is
offering $2,000 per year for tuition and
books plus $100 a month for expenses to
students in any academic major during their
junior & senior years. To qualify for this
scholarship, the student must:
. be a full-time student at OSU.
. not be older than 25 upon graduation
(waiverable for students with prior military
service).
. have a 2.35 GPA or 2.50 cumulative GPA.

listed below, and is normally completed
during the freshman and sophomore years.
Students may also satisfy the basic program
requirements or accelerate their progress by
previous military experience or by completing Summer Camp (MS 214), or Fundamentals of Military Science (MS 215).
No military obligation is incurred for
participation in Basic Program classes, and
students can decide whether they want to
apply for the advanced program.
ADVANCED PROGRAM
Students who desire to enroll in the twoyear advanced program, comprising the 3credit, upper-division courses listed below,
must apply and be accepted. Only those
students who have satisfied the basic
program requirements described above are
eligible.
Students in the advanced program receive
$100 per month subsistence allowance
during the school year. During the six-week
summer portion of the program, they
receive room and board, travel expenses to
and from the program location, and
approximately $700 for the period involved.
Veteran students enrolled in the ROTC
program receive these amounts in addition
to any other educational benefits.
The advanced summer program is
normally attended between the cadet's
junior and senior years. The University
awards 6 credits for successful completion.
SIMULTANEOUS
MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM
Advanced Program ROTC students may also
elect to join reserve or national guard units.
As officer candidates, they receive pay and

two years.
SERVICE OBLIGATION
AND ACADEMIC DELAY
Current laws and regulations require each
advanced program graduate to accept a
commission upon graduation and to fulfill
an eight-year military commitment. This
may be satisfied by eight years of reserve
forces duty in the USAR or ARNG or by a
combination of active duty and reserve
forces duty, usually three years active duty
and five years reserve forces duty. ROTC
scholarship students may be required to
serve on active duty for four years, depending on the needs of the army at the time.
Delays in reporting to active duty may
also be granted for up to four years to
selected students who are enrolled in a full
time program of instruction leading to an
acceptable advanced degree. No additional
service obligation is incurred by this
academic delay.

NROTC SCHOLARSHIPS
The Navy offers both two- and four-year
scholarships. Students are selected through
national competition, and recipients are
appointed midshipman USNR by the
Secretary of the Navy. Most of the four year
scholarship recipients are high school
seniors. During their four years in college,
they receive the financial benefits described
below and attend three four-week summer
cruises.
Two year scholarship applicants must be
in their second year of college and in good
standing with not less than a C+ (2.5) grade
point average. Students must have completed one year of college calculus with a
grade of C or better. Selectees for enrollment in this program attend the Naval
Science Institute for six weeks during the
summer, receiving instruction in naval
science and drill. Successful completion of

instructional nature, and a subsistence
allowance of $100 a month for each ninemonth school year. Graduates will be
commissioned as Ensign, United States
Naval Reserve, Second Lieutenant, United
States Marine Corps Reserve, and are
required to serve on active duty for four
years. Applications for the scholarship
program may be obtained from any NROTC
unit or Navy-Marine Corps Recruiting
Office. For more information, see the
Scholarship section in the front of this
catalog.
In addition, the Navy offers "side-loaded"
scholarships twice annually during the
spring and summer. Professors of Naval
Science (NROTC commanding officers) may
