About this program

NROTC University of Utah sits inside University of Utah as the campus's NROTC unit. NROTC has been on this campus since 1985. The mission is straightforward — produce U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps officers — and the cadre run a four-year curriculum to do exactly that.

Brigham Young University, Utah State University, Utah Valley University, and Weber State University are the cross-town partner schools feeding NROTC University of Utah. All ROTC-side curriculum runs at the host; partner-school students typically attend twice a week and full PT three to five mornings.

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. On the academic side, University of Utah draws midshipmen into history and the humanities as well as business and political science, and the cadre work directly with academic advising on time-conflict resolution between ROTC and major requirements.
