AFAS courses are available to all Marquette University students, and especially intended for those enrolled in the Air Force ROTC Program.
For information on the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Commissioning program see Reserve Officers' Training Corps in the university section of this bulletin.
Note:
- AFROTC students should note that most programs will probably entail more than the 128 hours normally required for graduation.
