Quick facts
About this program
AFROTC at Carnegie Mellon University runs as Detachment 755 Carnegie Mellon University (Det 755), an officer-accessions detachment for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.
Partner schools — University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, Robert Morris University, and Point Park University — round out the corps. The detachment runs one training schedule for the consortium, so a cross-town cadet sees the same cadre and contracting boards as a host-school student.
Most contracted cadets at Detachment 755 Carnegie Mellon University ride a national scholarship — AFROTC HSSP Type 1 (full tuition) for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. Carnegie Mellon University is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
