Seongmudae (, Hanja: 星武臺, literally Military Star Base) is another name of the academy. History 
The Academy was founded as the Aviation Academy () at Gimpo in 1949, which later in the same year was renamed into its current name. During the Korean War, the Academy was moved to Mosulpo Base, Jeju and again to Jinhae Base, Gyeongnam. The Academy was given its other name Seongmudae in 1966 by then President Park Chung-hee. In 1985 the Academy was moved to its current base in Cheongju. ROKAFA became the first of the three Korean military academies to allow female cadets to enter in 1997. Campus 
The campus is located in the central part of the country at Cheongju. Organization 
Cadet Wing, Faculty Board and the Base Group are the main divisions along with the Academy Headquarters, Administration Division, and Academic Information Centre. Education 
Cadets of the Academy do not have to pay any tuition but need to serve at least ten years in the Air Force. It has a number of international exchange cadets such as Japan, Turkey, and Thailand. Since no pilot training is included in the curricula, all the graduates who pass the physical test are supposed to enter the pilot training after graduation. Cadets are required to select his/her major from several available curricula offered including foreign languages, aeronautical engineering, astronautical engineering, international relations, industrial engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, management, Military and Strategic Studies.
