Quick facts
About this program
Headquartered on the Cornell University campus in New York, NROTC Cornell University is the local accession point into the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Founded in 1941, the unit has graduated officers across every major service era since.
Sister-school participation is a real piece of this unit. Midshipmen from Ithaca College contract through NROTC Cornell University and travel to Cornell University for the military-side requirements while keeping their core degree at the partner.
On the scholarship side: NROTC Navy Option (4-year), NROTC Marine Option, NROTC Nurse Option (where offered) are all live channels at NROTC Cornell University. Academically, Cornell University is well-regarded for international affairs and language study — a track that pairs well with ROTC's emphasis on technical and leadership majors.
