About this program

Operating out of University of Nebraska–Lincoln, NROTC University of Nebraska-Lincoln 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 1946.

NROTC University of Nebraska-Lincoln runs as a host-only program; midshipmen contract directly through University of Nebraska–Lincoln without a cross-town consortium. With roughly 12000+ undergraduates on campus, the unit pulls from a deep applicant pool inside a single school.

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 Nebraska–Lincoln's academic strengths in nursing and health professions and biology and pre-health programs give contracted midshipmen flexible major options on either side of the technical/non-technical line.
