Navy ROTC at University of Utah

NROTC University of Utah is hosted at University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. The unit's training events, classes, and PT all run on the University of Utah campus.

In addition to University of Utah, students enrolled at Brigham Young University, Utah State University, Utah Valley University, Weber State University, and Westminster University can contract through NROTC University of Utah via cross-town agreements. Cross-town midshipmen keep their primary academics at the partner school and travel to the host for ROTC-side coursework.

NROTC midshipmen at this unit compete for NROTC Navy Option (4-year), NROTC Marine Option, NROTC Nurse Option (where offered). National awards apply out of high school; on-campus side-loads kick in once a cadet is enrolled and contracted.

Each summer carries a different block: CORTRAMID after 4/C year, an enlisted-side fleet cruise after 3/C, and a junior-officer cruise after 2/C — Marine-Option mids ride MOUI and OCS-style training instead.

The Ute Battalion reports a cumulative GPA around 3.37, a 100% pass rate on Navy Nuclear Reactors interviews, and 89% of midshipmen receiving their first-choice Navy service selection since 2017.

The battalion includes scholarship and college-program midshipmen alongside prior-enlisted Sailors and Marines in the STA-21 and MECEP commissioning programs, supported by a staff of five active-duty members and three civilians led by the Commanding Officer.

Yes — NROTC University of Utah accepts cross-town and partner students from 5 other institutions, including Westminster University, Weber State University, Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University. See the cross-town options for distance and enrollment paths.
