Program Details
The General Military Course (GMC) is taken during the freshman and sophomore years.
Take advantage of the opportunity to test the Air Force out and see if you have what
it takes to be an officer. The first two years incur no service commitment.
Students who complete the GMC progress into the second half of the program, the Professional
Officer's Course (POC) for their junior and senior years of college. During the POC
years, cadets get to get hands on experience leading the GMC cadets.
Prior to entry into the POC, students must complete a 19-day summer Field Training
encampment.
