Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) courses are required for students in the Corps of Cadets. Students transferring into the Corps of Cadets are required to pass a course in ROTC for each semester in the Corps.
Except for Nursing students, to be enrolled in Norwich University’s ROTC program or courses, a student must be a member of the Corps of Cadets.
Leadership Experience
Participation in ROTC, including military labs and physical training, is an integral part of the Corps leadership experience. Cadets must enroll in Army, Air Force, Navy or Marine Corps ROTC to maintain membership in the Corps of Cadets.
ROTC Courses and Commissions
To be eligible to graduate in uniform as a member of the Corps of Cadets and qualify for a Corps diploma, a cadet must successfully complete three years (six semesters) of ROTC courses -- two each at the 100, 200, and 300 levels respectively.
Cadets seeking a commission are required to complete a fourth year of ROTC and meet all other requirements established by the commissioning branch.
ROTC Objectives
The ROTC programs exist to commission well-educated officers into the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps in sufficient numbers to meet the requirements of these services.
ROTC programs provide students with an understanding of the principles of military, aerospace, and naval science; develop professional knowledge in these fields; build attitudes of integrity, honor, and individual responsibility; and encourage appreciation of national security requirements.
