Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC)

Leadership. It’s not something you can learn in a textbook. It’s not something you can practice on your own. Leadership is a skill – and an art – that must be developed, nurtured and practiced in the company of your peers and other great leaders.    

Pathway to Leadership

Take charge of your future in the Jacksonville University Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps, where real leadership experience opens the door to a unique career in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps.

As an NROTC Midshipman, you choose your major while you complete Naval Science courses, attend drill sessions, and take part in NROTC unit events. Beyond these commitments, you control your own schedule.

Upon completing a bachelor’s degree, NROTC Midshipmen are commissioned as Ensigns in the U.S. Navy or Second Lieutenants in the U.S. Marine Corps. They graduate with some of the most sought-after skills in today’s workforce: professionalism, discipline, honor, and commitment.

You're Part of Our Story

Every midshipman’s journey is shaped by the people who believe in them. At our unit, we are fortunate to have a community of alumni, families, friends, and benefactors who continue to stand behind our students and cheer them on.

Throughout the year, our midshipmen have opportunities to grow far beyond the classroom; attending leadership conferences, competing at drill meets, representing our unit at events, and building lifelong friendships through traditions like our annual Military Ball. These are the moments that turn students into leaders, and your support helps make them possible.

There are many ways to be part of our journey. You can DONATE TO OUR UNIT FUND, proudly wear our UNIT MERCHANDISE, attend a UNIT EVENT, or simply continue to share in and celebrate the accomplishments of our midshipmen. Every form of support makes a difference.

 

When you support our unit, you become part of the NROTC family. You help our midshipmen create memories, build confidence, carry on our traditions, and prepare for the responsibility of serving others.

We are incredibly grateful for you and we thank you for believing in our midshipmen, investing in their future, and being part of their journey. We couldn’t do it without you!
