Welcome to the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps detachment at Manhattan College, serving over 30 schools in the New York City metro area. Our goal is to provide pre-commissioning education for qualified students who desire to serve as commissioned officers in the United States Air Force while still enjoying a civilian college life.

The department offers both a two and a half year and a four-year commissioning program, each with its own special advantages. The shorter program allows junior college transfer students and other students with at least five to six academic semesters remaining, either in undergraduate or graduate status, and who have met required qualifications, to obtain an Air Force commission while completing their studies. The four-year program provides on-campus study during the freshman through senior years. Both programs provide the opportunity to compete for full academic scholarships.

Attending Manhattan College is not necessary to attend AFROTC. We also cater to these crosstown schools.
