North Carolina Central University's AFROTC Detachment 585, a joint program of Duke University and North Carolina Central University, serves as the Department of Aerospace Studies. Students gain the opportunity to earn a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force upon graduation, positioning them for purposeful leadership. AFROTC selects, educates, trains and commissions college men and women through a three-to-four-year curriculum.
