Naval ROTC
The Naval ROTC Learning Community is devoted to building a solid foundation for future Navy and Marine Corps Officers. This community is a collaborative effort between students interested in pursuing a career in the US Naval Service and the Active-Duty NROTC Purdue staff. This community offers not only an introduction to the requirements and expectations of Navy and Marine Corps Officers, but also an opportunity to develop teamwork and leadership skills with fellow midshipmen through a variety of professional, cultural, and athletic events.
The Naval ROTC Learning Community offers the opportunity to build and enhance relationships with fellow Naval Science students and faculty in informal, fun, and friendly out-of-class activities.
For questions regarding Navy ROTC, please visit their website and email jkwiatek@purdue.edu (Navy) or calder48@purdue.edu (Marine).
Eligibility
- First-time beginning students admitted to any college/school/major
- Scholarship and College Programmers accepted into the Naval ROTC
Residential Component
- Students will indicate interest in Learning Communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC. If not selected for an LC, the student's original housing preferences will be considered during general housing placement and the student will be able to roommate match with other general housing students.
- The location of LC housing will be determined based on the incoming class size and the needs of the learning community.
