Students can take AFROTC classes at Yale University’s main campus in New Haven. The first-year and sophomore courses carry no military obligation and are open to all students. After a 40-year hiatus, Yale graduated its first Air Force ROTC class in 2016; one Quinnipiac student — Catherine Perrotti— was among the graduates. Today, approximately a dozen QU students are enrolled in the Yale AFROTC program; at least half of them have a full scholarship.

Students can pursue a commission as an officer in the United States Regular Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard by taking classes at the University of New Haven's campus in West Haven. No scholarships are available.
