Quick facts
About this program
NROTC Marquette University is Marquette University's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. It has commissioned officers from this campus continuously since 1942.
NROTC Marquette University runs as a consortium for midshipmen from University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, Milwaukee School of Engineering, Wisconsin Lutheran College, and Cardinal Stritch University as well as Marquette University. Cross-town students typically retain their primary residency and academics at the home campus and route only military-side coursework through the host.
Midshipmen contract under Navy Option, Marine Option, or — at participating units — Navy Nurse Option, with full-tuition national scholarships available out of high school and side-load opportunities for college programmers. Marquette University midshipmen pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and engineering and physical sciences drawing strong cohorts.
