A summer training
period is held annually to furnish Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) midshipmen experience in the practical
application of their studies in naval science. Student midshipmen participate in four- to six-week summer training
cruises throughout the world during each of the three summers between their
freshman and senior years. Marine option
midshipmen attend a seven-week Marine Corps Officer Candidates School in the
summer between their junior and senior year. Nurse option midshipmen participate in four-week cruises tailored to the nursing program. The first class cruise (between
their junior and senior year) satisfies the USC 10 (Title 10) commissioning
requirement for all NROTC midshipmen and may not be waived.
