Quick facts
About this program
Detachment 305 Louisiana State University sits inside Louisiana State University as the campus's AFROTC detachment. AFROTC has been on this campus since 1947. 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.
Southern University and A&M College and Baton Rouge Community College are the cross-town partner schools feeding Detachment 305 Louisiana State 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, Louisiana State University draws cadets into history and the humanities as well as nursing and health professions, and the cadre work directly with academic advising on time-conflict resolution between ROTC and major requirements.
