About this program

Detachment 940 University of Wyoming sits inside University of Wyoming 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.

Laramie County Community College are the cross-town partner schools feeding Detachment 940 University of Wyoming. 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, University of Wyoming draws cadets into history and the humanities as well as international affairs and language study, and the cadre work directly with academic advising on time-conflict resolution between ROTC and major requirements.
