Navy ROTC / Marine Option

Naval ROTC prepares young men and women to serve their country as commissioned officers in the United States Navy or the United States Marine Corps. Prospective Naval officers can choose careers such as surface warfare, submarines, aviation, special warfare (SEALs), special operations (Navy Diver), and nuclear power. Prospective Marine Corps officers may enter various fields such as infantry, armor and aviation.

Naval ROTC students, called "midshipmen," learn about the Navy and Marine Corps through a series of leadership laboratories, academic classes, and training cruises. The eight naval science courses cover topics ranging from ship navigation and weapon systems to leadership and naval history. All midshipmen participate in summer training cruises between their junior and senior years. Scholarship students go on a training cruise each summer that they are on scholarship. There are two- to four-year scholarships available for qualified students. Scholarship students must meet additional math and physics requirements as outlined in their scholarship contract. Midshipmen under scholarship receive a monthly stipend while in school.
