About this program
NROTC Oregon State University is Oregon State University (extension)'s officer-accessions program for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. It has commissioned officers from this campus continuously since 1926.
NROTC Oregon State University runs as a consortium for midshipmen from University of Oregon, Western Oregon University, Oregon Health & Science University, and Linn-Benton Community College as well as Oregon State University (extension). 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. Oregon State University (extension) midshipmen pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and engineering and physical sciences drawing strong cohorts.
