Departments of Military Science & Aerospace Studies

Graduate students with two years of academic study remaining who are interested in becoming commissioned officers in the United States Army or United States Air Force may apply to the Department of Military Science or the Department of Aerospace Studies, respectively, for a two-year commissioning program. Selected students receive $200 a month and, for qualified applicants, two-year scholarships for tuition, required fees, flat rate fees, and books are available. Those interested should consult the head of either department at least nine months prior to the beginning of their final two years at the University. Early application is necessary for administrative processing. Candidates must pass an aptitude test, a physical examination, and attend a six-week summer camp. Veterans are given constructive credit for previous military service and instruction. Air Force officers will go on active duty upon completing graduate degree requirements. Army officers will go on either active or reserve duty.
