About this program

NROTC Georgia Institute of Technology sits inside Georgia Institute of Technology as the campus's NROTC unit. NROTC has been on this campus since 1926. 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.

Morehouse College, Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University, and Emory University are the cross-town partner schools feeding NROTC Georgia Institute of Technology. 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, Georgia Institute of Technology draws midshipmen into history and the humanities as well as international affairs and language study, and the cadre work directly with academic advising on time-conflict resolution between ROTC and major requirements.
