The Curriculum

The courses taught in the Air Force Junior ROTC program are prescribed by the United States Air Force; and the textbooks, workbooks, and teaching materials are provided by Headquarters Air Force ROTC. Instructors are allowed to “blend” the materials to accommodate student academic needs and teaching preferences. An entire text will not be completed during a one semester course. Instructors choose and blend subjects to provide the very best academic/leadership curriculum possible.

TYPICAL CURRICULUM

ACADEMIC STUDIES Courses available include: A Journey Into Aviation History, Science of Flight, The Exploration of Space, Astronomy, Cultural Studies, and World Geography. An honors course in aviation principles and another in management may be taught with Headquarters/District approval and sufficient student interest. Senior instructor selects cadets who have satisfied Air Force prerequisites.

LEADERSHIP STUDIES The Leadership text covers such subjects as nutrition, fitness, stress management, self-discipline, decision-making, leadership principles, effective communication, financial management, career planning, resume preparation, college preparation, and job interview techniques.

FITNESS/NUTRITION One day per week is devoted to physical improvement and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Cadets establish a fitness baseline and measure progress throughout the semester.
