NAVAL RESERVE OFFICER
TRAINING CORPS
The Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps
(NROTC) Program was founded in 1926. This
program produces Navy officers from NROTC
units in operation at many colleges and universities
throughout the United States. The annual output
is approximately 1,500 new officers commissioned
mainly in the unrestricted line.
The NROTC Program is highly competitive.
It educates and trains qualified young men and
women for service as commissioned officers of
the Regular Navy and Marine Corps. NROTC
midshipmen lead essentially the same campus life
as other undergraduates. They make their own
arrangements for enrollment and room and
board, and they pursue academic studies leading
to a bachelor’s degree. They may also participate
in any extracurricular activities that do not
interfere with their NROTC obligations.
