Quick facts
About this program
Run by cadre at Yale University, NROTC Yale University is the NROTC unit for New Haven and surrounding Connecticut. The program dates to 2012.
Cross-town agreements bring University of New Haven, Quinnipiac University, Sacred Heart University, and Southern Connecticut State University into the unit's footprint. Most cross-town midshipmen keep their primary academics at the partner school and travel to Yale University for ROTC class and lab.
The unit runs all standard NROTC scholarship channels: NROTC Navy Option (4-year), NROTC Marine Option, NROTC Nurse Option (where offered). Major-wise, midshipmen here cluster around engineering and physical sciences and mathematics and applied analytics, with cadre encouraging technical degrees where the cadet's career interests fit.
