AFROTC at Marquette University contracts cadets on national scholarships into the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.
About this program
AFROTC at Marquette University runs as Detachment 930 Marquette University (Det 930), an officer-accessions detachment for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.
Partner schools — University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, Milwaukee School of Engineering, Cardinal Stritch University, and Mount Mary 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 930 Marquette University ride a national scholarship — AFROTC HSSP Type 1 (full tuition) for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. Marquette University is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
