Biomedical Sciences Corps (BSC) categories are for students and cadets wanting to become physical therapists, optometrists and pharmacists. Students interested in pursuing a BSC career in the Air Force should take the following steps:

• Enroll in Air Force ROTC classes at the college or university you are currently attending or wish to attend that offers Air Force ROTC. Staff members at each detachment are ready to assist you. Click here to find out which schools offer Air Force ROTC »
  
  
• Once enrolled in Air Force ROTC, students will meet a board, in March, for selection into the associated BSC category. Eligible students apply approximately two years prior to their projected commissioning date. This provides the greatest flexibility in ensuring a student gets the most opportunity for selection. Students interested in meeting the board must be in good standing with the university and have a minimum cumulative grade point average of a 2.0.
  
  
• If selected for a BSC category, student must remain in good standing with the university and maintain a 2.0 term and cumulative Grade Point Average. If you are not selected and have not yet enlisted, you can compete for an allocation in the Professional Officer Course, leave AFROTC or compete again for categorization during the next cycle.
  
  
• If you are selected for a BSC category, you’ll be commissioned in your specialty as a Second Lieutenant and serve for four years.
