PLNU and ROTC
Navy ROTC
The Navy ROTC (NROTC) unit in San Diego is one of the largest in the country. As a PLNU student, you’ll have a strong community around you. PLNU graduates make up about 20% of the Navy and Marine Corps officers commissioned each year. PLNU is also one of the few Christian Colleges to offer NROTC as an option for students.
