Quick facts
About this program
Detachment 867 Norwich University is the AFROTC detachment hosted at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont. Cadre have commissioned U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force officers from this campus since 1947. Norwich University is one of the nation's six Senior Military Colleges, which gives this program a distinct corps-of-cadets identity rather than a standard ROTC battalion footprint.
The detachment pulls cadets from University of Vermont, Saint Michael's College, Vermont State University, and Castleton University alongside its host enrollment. GMC and POC coursework is taught in the host classrooms; cross-town cadets ride consortium shuttles or self-commute to PT and labs.
Cadets can pursue AFROTC HSSP Type 1 (full tuition) or, once on contract, AFROTC HSSP Type 2 ($18k cap). Norwich University brings academic depth in computer science and cybersecurity, and the unit aligns major selection with branch-board competitiveness.
