About this program
Run by cadre at University of Missouri, NROTC University of Missouri is the NROTC unit for Columbia and surrounding Missouri. The program dates to 1947.
Cross-town agreements bring Stephens College and Columbia College into the unit's footprint. Most cross-town midshipmen keep their primary academics at the partner school and travel to University of Missouri for ROTC class and lab.
The unit runs all standard NROTC scholarship channels: NROTC Navy Option (4-year), NROTC Marine Option, NROTC Nurse Option (where offered). Major-wise, midshipmen here cluster around engineering and physical sciences and history and the humanities, with cadre encouraging technical degrees where the cadet's career interests fit.
