About this program

NROTC at University of Pittsburgh runs as NROTC University of Pittsburgh, an officer-accessions unit for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.

Partner schools — Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, Robert Morris University, and Point Park University — round out the corps. The unit runs one training schedule for the consortium, so a cross-town midshipme sees the same cadre and contracting boards as a host-school student.

Most contracted midshipmen at NROTC University of Pittsburgh ride a national scholarship — NROTC Navy Option (4-year) for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. University of Pittsburgh is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
