About this program

Operating out of University of Idaho, NROTC University of Idaho commissions midshipmen into the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps under Naval Service Training Command. The program traces its lineage on this campus to 1942.

Midshipmen from Washington State University and Lewis-Clark State College cross-enroll into NROTC University of Idaho on a typical once-per-week schedule, with leadership labs, PT, and Military Science classes held on the University of Idaho campus.

Funding paths into this unit include NROTC Navy Option (4-year) and NROTC Marine Option, with NROTC Nurse Option (where offered) also available. University of Idaho's academic strengths in nursing and health professions and computer science and cybersecurity give contracted midshipmen flexible major options on either side of the technical/non-technical line.
