About this program
Air Force ROTC Detachment 320 at Tulane University is New Orleans' Air Force officer-commissioning program, committed to producing high-quality officers for the U.S. Air Force and Space Force while offering cadets a rewarding college experience and scholarship opportunities.
The detachment is a true regional consortium, serving cadets from seven institutions across the New Orleans area: Tulane University, Xavier University, Dillard University, Loyola University, the University of New Orleans, Delgado Community College, and the Louisiana State University Nursing School. That breadth lets students at a range of schools pursue a commission together.
After graduation, cadets commission as Air Force officers and can pursue high-demand career fields such as pilot, engineering, intelligence, space operations, nursing, special operations, and security forces.
