In an era where Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics STEM career fields are outpacing qualified applicants, the DoD and the federal government wholly recognizes the importance of recruiting and retaining talented STEM professionals. This thesis investigates the current state of AJROTC programs and addresses whether transitioning to a STEM-based curriculum would fulfill federal STEM initiatives.
