<p>In opinion, which college/university in the United States has the best NROTC department (apart from the Service Academies)?</p>
<p>My son received a NROTC scholarship to Notre Dame and was told it is the #1 unit and most difficult to get into. It is ranked #1 due to a couple of factors. Most Notre Dame mids who stay in past their obligated service have very successful careers and there have many Notre Dame flag officers. Also they have the highest % of mids get their first choice service selection. It is sometimes easier to get into the pilot program from NROTC then from USNA. In addition, if you get a NROTC scholarship from Notre Dame you can transfer it to almost any other school you get into (with a program) if their program has not already filled up. After saying all this, he still wants to go to USNA! Hope to hear soon.</p>
<p>University of Washington....2nd to none</p>
<p>I would explain more, but I'm exhausted and we have a hump at 0530 tomorrow. I'll be back later.</p>
