About this program
Detachment 225 University of Notre Dame is the AFROTC detachment hosted at University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana. Cadre have commissioned U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force officers from this campus since 1951.
The detachment pulls cadets from Saint Mary's College, Holy Cross College, Indiana University South Bend, and Bethel College 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 Notre Dame brings academic depth in computer science and cybersecurity, and the unit aligns major selection with branch-board competitiveness.
