Our Unit

The Rutgers/Princeton NROTC started in March 2012 with Princeton joining in February 2014. The unit is proud to represent midshipmen from Rutgers-New Brunswick and Princeton. Many events occur throughout the year from the Military Ball and Mess Night to Military Excellence Competitions and volunteering events. 

Plan of the Week

PT

The unit conducts split PT every Monday morning from 0600 to 0700 on both campuses (Rutgers and Princeton, depending on where the midshipman resides), and every Wednesday morning from 0600 to 0700 at Rutgers-New Brunswick. A midshipman is obligated to attend all weekly PT sessions. On Fridays, the unit also hosts a Fitness Enhancement Program for midshipmen requiring more PT as well as PT geared towards all Marine Options and Navy Options interested in SpecWar. PRT's are conducted at the beginning and end of every semester. Workouts are led by midshipmen and supervised by active duty Unit Staff members.

Classes

Naval Science classes are held on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday at Rutgers from 0800 to 0920, with a virtual option once per week. That schedule depends on the specific class being taken.

Naval Science Laboratory

On Wednesday mornings, midshipmen attend a two hour required laboratory session that focuses on leadership and professional development designed to prepare the midshipmen to be future Naval and Marine Corps Officers.
