Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is a program designed to develop leaders of character for tomorrow’s Air and Space Force and our Nation. AFROTC offers college students a course of study ultimately leading to a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air or Space Forces. The program offers seminar classes with an emphasis placed on individual training and leadership development. Qualified students have opportunities to explore and evaluate Air and Space Force career opportunities while earning a degree. Creighton students register for the courses at Creighton but attend Aerospace Studies classes at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) while pursuing their degree at Creighton. This opportunity results from an agreement between Creighton and UNO that permits Creighton students to participate in the Air Force ROTC Program at UNO.
If interested in any of these programs please contact AFROTC Detachment 470, University of Nebraska at Omaha, 402.554.2318, to obtain further information.
