Quick facts
About this program
NROTC University of Minnesota is University of Minnesota's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. It has commissioned officers from this campus continuously since 1941.
NROTC University of Minnesota runs as a consortium for midshipmen from University of St. Thomas, Augsburg University, and Macalester College as well as University of Minnesota. 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. University of Minnesota midshipmen pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and business and political science drawing strong cohorts.
