Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Unit Rutgers University represents midshipmen from the campuses of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and its cross-town affiliate, Princeton University. 

The unit was established in March 2012 at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. In February 2014, Princeton University joined the program.

Our Mission

The NROTC program was established to develop midshipmen mentally, morally, and physically to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, and loyalty, and with the core values of honor, courage, and commitment in order to commission as naval officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in the naval service, and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government.
