 Student Life
Our students, known as "Midshipmen" are full-time students at Illinois Institute of Technology preparing to become officers in the Navy or Marine Corps. They enjoy all the benefits and responsibilities of other IIT students with the added advantage of belonging to our team.
Members of NROTC are leaders in many organizations on campus. Some of our current midshipmen are sorority/fraternity presidents and vice presidents, varsity sports team captains, club members, and members of cutting edge independent research teams. One current student is being paid for his research into increased jet engine efficiency, a DARPA funded project.
Midshipmen at IIT have unique experiences to travel (on summer cruise, leadership conferences, and the Tulane drill meet) forming special bonds and cohesiveness through activities such as intramural teams, the drill team, dining-in, and the military ball.
Because NROTC places no restriction on choice of academic major, students are free to pursue a curriculum that interests them in one of the nation's most respected institutions of higher learning. Some of our current midshipmen are pursuing degrees in: Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Architecture, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, Business, and Psychology. IIT offers courses of study in a number of majors including:
 Aerospace Engineering
Applied Mathematics
Architecture
Architectural Engineering
Biology

Midshipmen receive specialized instruction to prepare them for service in the Navy and Marine Corps.
Active duty Navy and Marine Corps officers teach students about naval history and tradition, leadership
and ethics, and current issues relating to today's military. Every midshipman receives specialized
mentorship and advising on topics from choice of academic major to career choice. Professional tutoring
is provided for topics like Calculus and Physics. Because you are a part of our team, our staff is on
hand to ensure your academic and military success.
In addition to their studies, midshipmen lead the way on campus in giving back to the Chicago community. Students participate in an annual Veteran's Day dedication ceremony events on campus. Our students frequently participate in events like fraternity or sorority community service.
