Quick facts
About this program
Detachment 035 Northern Arizona University is Northern Arizona University's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. It has commissioned officers from this campus continuously since 1972.
Detachment 035 Northern Arizona University runs as a consortium for cadets from Coconino Community College as well as Northern Arizona University. Cross-town students typically retain their primary residency and academics at the home campus and route only military-side coursework through the host.
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. Northern Arizona University cadets pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and engineering and physical sciences drawing strong cohorts.
