About this program
Detachment 535C Syracuse University is Syracuse 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 1947.
Detachment 535C Syracuse University runs as a consortium for cadets from Le Moyne College, Onondaga Community College, and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry as well as Syracuse 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. Syracuse University cadets pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and nursing and health professions drawing strong cohorts.
