About this program
AFROTC at Missouri University of Science and Technology runs as Detachment 440 Missouri University of Science and Technology (Det 440), an officer-accessions detachment for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.
Partner schools — Drury University, Missouri State University, and Lincoln 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 440 Missouri University of Science and Technology ride a national scholarship — AFROTC HSSP Type 1 (full tuition) for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. Missouri University of Science and Technology is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
