Northeastern University

The Boston Navy ROTC unit is a consortium that includes students from Boston University, Boston College, and Northeastern University. All Navy ROTC scholarships cover full tuition, mandatory fees, a $375 per semester book stipend, and a $250 per month living stipend that increases by $50 each year. Upon graduation, there is a four-year active-duty commitment.

NROTC students are required to take eight naval science courses, typically one per semester. Nursing students are required to take four naval science classes, in addition to their regular course work. All students attend a leadership laboratory once a week and physical training twice per week. All classes, labs, and group workouts are conducted at Boston University. Students typically spend a total of six to eight hours per week participating in NROTC-related activities. Additionally, Naval ROTC students complete a “summer cruise” each summer, which consists of training with a fleet air squadron, surface vessel, or submarine for two to four weeks in the summer. This exposure gives students perspective of what their lives would be like as a Naval officer. Navy nurses complete two summer cruises, or training sessions, prior to graduation, each of which lasts approximately four weeks. They spend one session with a medical unit at sea (on a Navy ship) and one session at a land-based Navy hospital. All lodging, transportation, meals, and uniforms are paid for by the Navy during summer training sessions. For more information, contact Naval ROTC  at 617-353-4232.
