NAVAL SCIENCE COURSES  
 
The Department of Naval Science course instruction is designed to provide students with the basic professional knowledge and leadership skills needed to become Navy and Marine Corps officers.  In the initial two years all students receive an orientation to the various aspects of the Navy and Marine Corps, followed by courses in basic naval engineering, weapon systems, leadership, and an overview of seapower.

 
Students may receive their final two years of instruction in either Navy or Marine Corps courses.  Navy option students study naval engineering, combat systems, seamanship and navigation; Marine option students study the historical development of warfare and amphibious operations.  Both options conclude with practical leadership training designed as final preparation for assuming the responsibilities of a junior officer in the Navy or Marine Corps.  After the sophomore year, a transfer into Naval ROTC will be permitted only if the transferring student wishes to pursue a Navy or Marine commission.
