About this program
NROTC at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University runs as NROTC Virginia Tech, an officer-accessions unit for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.
Partner schools — Radford University — round out the corps. The unit runs one training schedule for the consortium, so a cross-town midshipme sees the same cadre and contracting boards as a host-school student.
Most contracted midshipmen at NROTC Virginia Tech ride a national scholarship — NROTC Navy Option (4-year) for the high-school awards, plus on-campus side-loads for college programmers. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is academically strong in business and political science, which is well-aligned with the services' branching priorities.
