We are a group of young leaders, some just out of high school and some coming from
service in the fleet; all working together to develop ourselves in order to commission
into Naval or Marine Corps Service. We are a community at the University on the same
mission, with the same goals, working toward the same united purpose; to serve as
Ensigns or 2nd Lieutenants upon graduation. We would love for you to come train alongside
us too.

Training Students to be Officers
The Navy ROTC Program is available at over 160 colleges and universities that either
host Navy ROTC units or have cross-town enrollment agreements with a host university.
Here, the University of Utah is the host unit, but our battalion is comprised of members
attending our cross town affiliates, including Westminster College and Weber State
University.
Navy and Marine Corps college based commissioned Officer program
Mission
The Navy ROTC Program was established to develop midshipmen mentally, morally, and
physically; to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, loyalty, and with the core
values of honor, courage, and commitment in order to commission college graduates
as naval officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward
careers in the naval service, and have a potential for future development in mind
and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship
and government.
Honor - Courage - Commitment
NROTC Program
Through NROTC at the U, college students will go to classes, train with the battalion,
and function as a member of the NROTC program in order to meet requirements to commission
as delineated by Naval Service Training Command (NSTC) and other NROTC governing documents.
You will be working as a developing leader in this program and as a student at the
University of Utah or affiliate school if you join us.
Educating Citizens on Naval Warfare
U of U NROTC
The Navy ROTC Program was first established in 1926 to provide a broad base of citizens knowledgeable in the
arts and sciences of Naval Warfare. It was not until 1932 that the Marine Corps joined.
Then, in 1972 females were allowed to participate. Today the program continues educating
both young men and women to be successful officers in the United States Navy and Marine
Corps. Since its establishment, the program has had several famous graduates. Find out more about our unit on the history page!

"NROTC University of Utah is a fantastic institution. When I arrived to the fleet,
I received a division of 15 Sailors to lead, and was welcomed into the wardroom, a
few things became abundantly clear. First and foremost was the fact that not all members
of the wardroom had received the training I had. I am proud to say that U of U NROTC
helped teach me how to follow and obey the principles and regulations instituted by
the US Navy, but also to be understanding and approachable, to hold an effective and
productive conversation face to face with an individual, and how to motivate and lead
a group of people through tough and demanding times. NROTC University of Utah taught
me to be an effective leader, not just a good Naval Officer."
