About this program
NROTC Southern University and A&M College is Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College's officer-accessions program for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. It has commissioned officers from this campus continuously since 1971.
NROTC Southern University and A&M College runs as a consortium for midshipmen from Louisiana State University as well as Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. Cross-town students typically retain their primary residency and academics at the home campus and route only military-side coursework through the host.
