Quick facts
About this program
NROTC University of Washington is University of Washington's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. It has commissioned officers from this campus continuously since 1923.
NROTC University of Washington runs as a consortium for midshipmen from Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University, University of Puget Sound, and Pacific Lutheran University as well as University of Washington. Cross-town students typically retain their primary residency and academics at the home campus and route only military-side coursework through the host.
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. University of Washington midshipmen pursue degrees across a wide spectrum, with biology and pre-health programs and international affairs and language study drawing strong cohorts.
