Our Command Mission

“THE NROTC PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED TO DEVELOP MIDSHIPMEN MENTALLY, MORALLY, AND PHYSICALLY, AND 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 COLLEGE GRADUATES 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.”

Above is the mission statement and very heart of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. At UNC-Chapel Hill, NROTC is an opportunity to become a leader and to serve the men and women of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

The Department of Naval Science is a part of the College of Arts & Sciences. The College supports the University’s core values encouraging diversity and equal educational and employment opportunities throughout the University community. These values are articulated in the University’s non-discrimination policy and by the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs.

UNC-Chapel Hill Naval ROTC is dedicated to the development of midshipmen and cultivating them into leaders of Sailors and Marines.
