NROTC @ USF
Academics
The Naval Science Program at the University of South Florida is administered by the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Unit. This program affords selected men and women the opportunity to receive instruction in Navy specified courses which, in conjunction with the baccalaureate degree, will qualify them for a commission in the United States Navy or Marine Corps. Students enrolled in the university who are physically and mentally qualified are eligible to apply for the NROTC program.
As naval officers, USF NROTC graduates become eligible for varied careers, serving in aviation squadrons, on surface ships, on submarines in the nuclear power program, at naval installations all over the world, or in the numerous sub-specialties as an officer of the Marines Corps.
With the consent of the Professor of Naval Science, any student, although not enrolled in the NROTC program, is eligible for enrollment in naval science courses.
The USF NROTC Unit offers participation through four programs: (1) the Navy-Marine Corps Scholarship Program, (2) the Navy-Marine Corps Four-Year College Program, (3) the Two-Year NROTC College Program, and (4) the Two-Year NROTC Scholarship Program.
