About this program
NROTC Carnegie Mellon University is the NROTC unit hosted at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Cadre have commissioned U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps officers from this campus since 1941.
The unit pulls midshipmen from University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, Robert Morris University, and Point Park University alongside its host enrollment. Naval Science I-IV is taught at the unit, and partner-school midshipmen blue-and-gold to the host for drills and labs.
