Though many cadets at Detachment 88 are students at the host campus here at CSU Sacramento, many come from crosstown schools. To be a part of the cadet corps, you can attend any of the following universities:
| AMERICAN RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE |
| COSUMNES RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE |
| DELTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE-STOCKTON |
| EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY |
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY |
| SACRAMENTO CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE |
| SIERRA COMMUNITY COLLEGE |
| SOLANO COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE |
| UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-DAVIS |
| UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC |
YUBA COLLEGE
SAN JOAQUIN DELTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PACIFIC UNION
CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY SACRAMENTO |
However, you must finish your degree at an accredited four year university. So, while many cadets begin their academics at a community college, all must complete their degree at a four year institution before commissioning.
