About the Aerospace Studies Department

Welcome to the home of the Flying Jacks - Air Force ROTC Detachment 780 at South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University. Our detachment has a long history of providing leaders for our nation’s Air Force - dating back to the first commissioned class in 1948. We continue that legacy today, and are proud to commission leaders into the world's first Space Force as well.

The Aerospace Studies Department at SDSU is dedicated to training college students for successful careers as officers in the United States Air Force and the United States Space Force. In addition to training SDSU students, our detachment has cross-town agreements with à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University (DSU), Augustana University (AU) and the University of Sioux Falls (USF).

According to these agreements, students from these schools are authorized to be members of SDSU’s AFROTC detachment. Students from these cross-town schools may call our detachment (see number above) for more information about AFROTC.

The Aerospace Studies Department offers four courses that any student may take, whether they want to be officers in the Air Force or not!

  • AIR 101 and 102: Department of the Air Force Professionalism/Competition and Security.
  • AIR 201 and 202: Team and Leadership Fundamentals.

Our detachment is located in DePuy Military Hall (1150 Campanile Avenue) at SDSU’s main campus in Brookings, South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã. Our office hours are 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding federal holidays). You can contact us above via email or phone if you have any questions, or if you would like additional information about Air Force ROTC.
