About this program
Detachment 145 University of Miami is the AFROTC detachment hosted at University of Miami in Florida. Cadre have commissioned U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force officers from this campus since 1947.
The detachment pulls cadets from Florida International University, Barry University, Florida Memorial University, and St. Thomas University alongside its host enrollment. GMC and POC coursework is taught in the host classrooms; cross-town cadets ride consortium shuttles or self-commute to PT and labs.
Cadets can pursue AFROTC HSSP Type 1 (full tuition) or, once on contract, AFROTC HSSP Type 2 ($18k cap). University of Miami brings academic depth in computer science and cybersecurity, and the unit aligns major selection with branch-board competitiveness.
