The mission of the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) is to educate and train officer candidates, ensuring that they possess the moral, intellectual, and physical qualities to serve successfully as officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The NROTC Program fills a vital need in preparing mature young men and women for leadership and management in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps. Nursing scholarships are available for students participating in the IU South Bend Nursing Program. Depending upon the student’s status (scholarship or non-scholarship) and their goals, certain courses regularly offered by other university departments are required.

Interested students should contact the University of Notre Dame NROTC Office at (574) 631-7274 or toll free at (877) 636-7682. Students can also visit the NROTC websites.
