About this program
Detachment 605 North Carolina A&T State University sits inside North Carolina A&T State University as the campus's AFROTC detachment. AFROTC has been on this campus since 1972. 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.
University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Bennett College, Guilford College, and Elon University are the cross-town partner schools feeding Detachment 605 North Carolina A&T State University. 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, North Carolina A&T State University draws cadets into history and the humanities as well as biology and pre-health programs, and the cadre work directly with academic advising on time-conflict resolution between ROTC and major requirements.
