** Fitness Enhancement Physical Training is required for midshipmen failing to meet the standards of a semi-annual physical fitness test. All Marine Options are required to
attend Physical Training on this day.
Your freshman year in the Northwestern NROTC Unit will commence with Orientation Week, typically scheduled the week before Loyola’s start of classes. Once classes start, you
will take NS 110 Introduction to Naval Organization as part of your fall quarter course load, followed by NS 120 Seapower and Maritime Affairs in the winter quarter. All
midshipmen, regardless of class year, attend the Naval Science Lab on Wednesday mornings. There are typically no Naval Science Courses offered in the spring quarter. The
academic year is full of opportunities to participate in NROTC events such as: Drill Meets, the Military Ball, Dining-in, and Spring Review. In your first summer as a midshipman,
you will participate in CORTRAMID (approximately one month in length).
Marine Option: First year Marine Option Scholarship midshipmen have a very similar schedule to that pictured, with exceptions:
- Physical Training is mandatory three times per week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.
- All Marine Options are members of the drill team, so drill team practice is mandatory.
- Marine Options are not required to take Calculus.
Nurse Option: Nurse Options are not required to take Calculus.
