Nc State University



North Carolina State University Naval ROTCMissionThe purpose of the Department of Naval Science is to develop Midshipmen and enlisted "Officer Candidates" mentally, morally, and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty in order to commission college graduates as Navy and Marine Corps Officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in the naval services, and have potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government.StudentsThe large majority of our 120 member-strong battalion are students who join directly from high school as either four-year scholarship students (selected by the Navy/Marine Corps) or four-year College Program (non-scholarship) students (selected by the NC State Naval ROTC staff). These students are designated “Midshipmen, US Naval Reserve” and are further designated as either Navy Option or Marine Corps Option. In addition, our battalion is enhanced by the inclusion of more than 15 Navy and Marine Corps enlisted “officer candidates” who are earning their degrees and seeking their commission alongside our Midshipmen. NCSU NROTC also works closely with the UNC and Duke NROTC units throughout the year in various capacities.CurriculumDue to the increasingly advanced technologies being employed by the Navy and Marine Corps, candidates for Navy commissions are encouraged to select academic majors in mathematics, engineering, or scientific disciplines. A majority, in fact, of four-year Navy Option Scholarship Midshipmen (85 percent) are pre-assigned to major in one of these technical fields. College Program Midshipmen and all Marine Option Midshipmen, on the other hand, are free to choose their area of major study. The NROTC training program emphasizes academics, leadership, military organization, and physical fitness. Required Naval Science courses are fully accredited, taken for free elective credit, and include: Introduction to Naval Science; U.S. Naval History; Leadership and Management; Navigation; Naval Engineering; Naval Weapons Systems; Naval Operations; and Leadership and Ethics. Marine Option Midshipmen substitute Evolution of Warfare and Amphibious Warfare for selected courses. Additional university courses may be required depending upon one’s major, however, all Navy Option scholarship or scholarship-seeking Midshipmen must complete one year each of calculus (MA 141 and 241) and physics (PY 205 and 208). In addition to the courses taken for university credit, Midshipmen attend leadership laboratory and physical training each week. Upon graduation, students will have earned enough credits to apply for a minor in Naval Science. A list of our offered courses and their descriptions is attached to this sheet.NAVY Freshman (Fourth Class)Sophomore (Third Class)Junior (Second Class)Senior (First Class)FallNS110NS210NS325NS415SpringHI351NS225NS315NS420MARINEFreshman (Fourth Class)Sophomore (Third Class)Junior (Second Class)Senior (First Class)FallNS110NS210SpringHI351NS330/430NS330/430NS420Summer TrainingIncoming freshmen (Fourth Class)All incoming four-year scholarship and College Program Midshipmen attend our summer new student orientation which normally begins two Tuesdays prior to the first day of fall classes. Our 4 day orientation program, conducted on campus at NC State and at Camp Butner (Army Reserve training area), is structured to be mentally and physically challenging, but is also intended to serve as an insightful first look into the diverse array of service opportunities available in the Navy and Marine Corps. Rising sophomore (Third Class) scholarship studentsRising Third Class scholarship Midshipmen attend a four-week long career orientation training program where they spend one week each with the Navy’s surface warfare community, submarine community, aviation community, and the Marine Corps. During the four weeks, Midshipmen are introduced to the diversity of the Navy and Marine Corps’ air, surface, subsurface, and land platforms and have the opportunity to be “underway” for several days on a Guided Missile Cruiser or Destroyer, on one of the Navy’s 14 Ballistic Missile Submarines, and fly in several different types of aircraft. Rising junior (Second Class) scholarship studentsNavy: Rising Second Class scholarship Midshipmen spend two to four weeks assigned to an active surface ship or submarine at sea. While aboard, Midshipmen train with the ship’s company, learn about the platform’s systems and tactics, and focus on the role and duties of the enlisted crew.Marine Corps: Rising Second Class scholarship Midshipmen spend 10 days assigned to Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, California and learn skills and tactics applicable to a Marine unit operating in mountainous terrain at high altitude. Rising seniors (First Class)Navy: Rising First Class spend two to four weeks assigned to an active surface ship, submarine, aviation squadron, mobile EOD unit, or SEAL team according to their desired preference of service selection. While assigned, Midshipmen participate actively in the officer “wardroom” community, train alongside an appointed junior officer “mentor”, and focus on the role, duties, and responsibilities of a junior officer in the fleet.Marine Corps: Rising First Class spend five weeks assigned to Officer Candidate’s School, Quantico, missioning and ServiceNavy Option graduates are commissioned as Ensigns and are selected to serve in one of the Navy’s first line warfare communities: surface warfare, nuclear surface warfare, submarine/nuclear power, pilot, naval flight officer, special operations/EOD, or special warfare/SEAL. Marine Option graduates are commissioned as Second Lieutenants and attend The Basic School (TBS) at Quantico, Virginia where they receive their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). In recent years, the NC State battalion has had the distinction of commissioning two of the first 18 women ever selected by the Navy to serve as submarine officers and also has selected three special operations/EOD candidates out of an annual selection pool of only 10 for all 70 Naval ROTC colleges and universities. Midshipman LifeAcademic excellence is emphasized and Midshipmen actively participate in the full range of campus extra-curricular activities and athletics. Additionally, the NC State battalion fields its own competitive drill team, color guard for official ceremonies and university/community events, and several intramural athletic teams. The NROTC unit is organized as a Marine Battalion and is led entirely by students under the supervision of six full-time active duty staff instructors. Additionally, Midshipmen have opportunities to examine all aspects of life in the Navy and Marine Corps and gain leadership experience through field trips, summer cruise, sail training, and social activities.
