Navy ROTC

Main content start

NROTC UC Berkeley has distinguished itself through the years as a premier program in naval officer development. While a standard Naval ROTC curriculum exists, the unit at UC Berkeley draws its strengths from its location in the heart of the Bay Area, the cultural center of technology and entrepreneurship with access to some of the world's leading experts in a variety of fields.

    • Naval Science Class from 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

Every Thursday, we leave Stanford at 1230. 35 minutes into our 60-minute commute to UC Berkeley from Stanford, we see the towering skyscrapers of San Francisco (SF) outside our window. After driving this route every Thursday for the past 4 years, I know the route by heart, but I am still in awe every time I get to drive through the wonderful city of SF. Learn more here
