Naval ROTC at UMD College Park

The University of Maryland is pleased to offer prestigious scholarship opportunities within the new Maryland Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Program (NROTC) Consortium for outstanding students. The NROTC Scholarship Program plays an important role in preparing students for leadership and management positions after graduation, and is open to students in all majors interested in pursuing a career with the Navy or Marine Corps.

NROTC offices are located in the Reckord Armory. The battalion consists of Navy and Marine Corps midshipmen, under the advisement of a staff of highly trained and motivated Sailors and Marines.

 

The primary objectives of the NROTC program are to provide NROTC students with:

1. An understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of Naval Science.
2. A basic understanding of the associated professional knowledge.
3. An appreciation of the requirements for national security.
4. A strong sense of personal integrity, honor and individual responsibility. 
5. An educational background which will allow the midshipman to undertake successfully, in later periods of his or her career, advanced or continuing education in a field of application and interest to the Naval Service.
