What types of degrees does AFIT primarily offer?

AFIT primarily offers master's and doctoral degrees, focusing on advanced education tailored specifically for military personnel and defense-related fields. This emphasis on higher-level degrees enables the institute to provide in-depth knowledge and expertise in areas such as engineering, management, information science, and applied science, which are essential for the Air Force's mission and goals.

The master's degrees often allow students to engage in specialized research and gain skills applicable to real-world military applications while doctoral programs foster advanced research capabilities, preparing students for significant contributions to their fields and the Air Force. Throughout these programs, AFIT integrates a strong technical emphasis, making it a vital resource for enhancing the skills of officers and civilians within the military.

Other options, such as associate's degrees, undergraduate degrees only, or non-degree programs, do not align with AFIT’s primary focus on postgraduate education, which is critical for developing leaders capable of handling complex challenges within defense and aerospace environments. This focus sets AFIT apart as a premier institution for advanced military education and training.
