History
Read the full historyThe Navy department, realizing that a reserve of qualified officers would be needed in the expansion incidental to an unforeseen emergency, established the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps in 1926. Since then the program has steadily expanded. The NROTC Unit at the University of Michigan was first established in July 1940, with an initial enrollment of 110 students. In 1967, the Navy, the University of Michigan, and Eastern Michigan University signed a cross-town agreement whereby EMU students could participate in the Michigan NROTC program.
