About this program
Detachment 390 Eastern Michigan University sits inside Eastern Michigan University as the campus's AFROTC detachment. AFROTC has been on this campus since 1948. The mission is straightforward — produce U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force officers — and the cadre run a four-year curriculum to do exactly that.
University of Michigan-Dearborn, University of Detroit Mercy, Wayne State University, and Madonna University are the cross-town partner schools feeding Detachment 390 Eastern Michigan University. Det leadership runs a single training schedule for the consortium, and all cadets — host and partner — show up to the same PT, lab, and AS classes.
Cadets pursue HSSP Type 1, Type 2, or Type 7 awards as high-school seniors and the In-College Scholarship Program once they're contracted. Tech and rated-pilot slots run through the same detachment board cycle. On the academic side, Eastern Michigan University draws cadets into history and the humanities as well as engineering and physical sciences, and the cadre work directly with academic advising on time-conflict resolution between ROTC and major requirements.
