Navy and Marine Corps ROTC
Naval ROTC
The University of Idaho/Washington State University Navy and Marine Corps ROTC program develops midshipmen mentally, morally and physically to drive the highest ideals of duty and loyalty along with the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Graduates leave with a commission into the Navy or Marine Corps.
The unit is composed of Navy and Marine option midshipmen, Marine Corps Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP) Marines, and Seaman-to-Admiral (STA-21) Officer Candidates. The varied backgrounds of our battalion members create a well-rounded and efficient team. Many students are enrolled in engineering and other STEM majors and perform exceptionally well in their classes.
Academics performance is high in Naval ROTC
The unit maintains a combined GPA of over 3.30 due in large part to the number of available study aids. The NROTC’s math and physics tutors come directly to the unit to help with any level of courses. The battalion study programs provide opportunities to seek help from others within the unit, as well as from other university-sponsored study aids.
Housing at U of I
ROTC participants can live together in the Gooding Wing of the Wallace Residence Hall Complex. The benefit of having roommates with compatible schedules is great. No one will object to you getting up at 5:30 a.m. for PT and you will share interest in the Armed Forces. It also increases camaraderie. Contact U of I Housing and Residential Life for more information.
