About this program

For midshipmen at University of Virginia, the path to a commission runs through NROTC University of Virginia. The unit reports up through Naval Service Training Command, and graduates pin on as second lieutenants, ensigns, or Marine Corps second lieutenants.

Cross-town agreements aren't part of this unit's model. Every contracted midshipme is also a University of Virginia student, which simplifies scheduling and integration with academic advising.

Scholarship-wise, expect the full NROTC menu: NROTC Navy Option (4-year), NROTC Marine Option, NROTC Nurse Option (where offered). Academically, University of Virginia is known for mathematics and applied analytics alongside nursing and health professions, which gives midshipmen a meaningful range of degree paths under the same commissioning umbrella.
