About this program
Air Force ROTC Detachment 910 at the University of Washington is one of the very oldest detachments in the country. Led by a cadre of experienced officers, the program helps cadets excel in the classroom, develop as leaders, and build their physical fitness on the way to an Air Force or Space Force commission.
Cadets train at the University of Washington and the detachment's partner institutions while pursuing degrees across a wide range of academic disciplines. Those academic programs complement a rigorous AFROTC curriculum, giving cadets both strong technical grounding and hands-on leadership experience.
The detachment's multifaceted approach is aimed at producing disciplined, professional officers who understand the history, leadership principles, and future challenges of the Air and Space Forces. Detachment 910 is based on the UW campus in Seattle.
