About this program
NROTC at University of Georgia runs as NROTC University of Georgia, an officer-accessions unit for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.
NROTC here is host-only. The unit's entire roster comes from University of Georgia, and partner-school transfers route through the standard college-programmer channels rather than a formal consortium.
Most contracted midshipmen at NROTC University of Georgia ride a national scholarship — NROTC Navy Option (4-year) for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. University of Georgia is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
