Griffin; Associate Professor: Commander Chris M. Balling; Assistant Professors: Lieutenant Mark S. Wilsey, Lieutenant Jay P. Erickson. Goals: 1. To help educate midshipmen in a major field of interest to the Navy or Marine Corps leading to a baccalaureate degree. 2. To provide midshipmen with fundamental concepts and principles of naval science and with the professional naval knowledge necessary to establish a sound basis for future growth as a Naval or Marine Corps officer. 3. To prepare midshipmen for service with the highest sense of honor and integrity as commissioned officers, to cultivate the essential elements of miltary leadership, and to foster the growth of a strong sense of loyalty and dedication to the service and the nation. 4. To prepare midshipmen to continue their education in a field of interest to naval science later in their careers. 5. To instill the values of civilian higher education into the naval service by utilizing the expertise of civilian faculty instruction. Crosstown Enrollment Agreement Weber State College and the University of Utah have entered a Crosstown Enrollment Agreement effective Autumn Quarter, 1982.

Application for the two-year scholarship must be made by April of the sophomore year. Selection is on a national scale. Applicants must have completed at least three quarters of calculus and at least one quarter of physics by the end of the sophomore year. You may apply at the Naval Science Department or at the Navy Recruiting Office. NROTC College Program NROTC college program is a program which leads to a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve. Admission is obtained through application at the University Department of Naval Science. Selection is made on the basis of the predicted grade point average and an interview g with two or more assistant professors in the Department of Naval Science. Final acceptance is contingent on meeting the mental, physical, and aptitude requirements. NROTC College Program students are supplied with uniforms and Naval Science textbooks.
