Student Activities

Student Organizations

Student organizations are created and run by students with support from the University through the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students. Some 300 organizations make it easy for students to engage their interests outside the classroom, such as campus politics, civic engagement, media, performing arts, multicultural groups, and religion.

ROTC

Two Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs are open to men and women at Princeton. In both (Army and Air Force), participants may compete for scholarships described in the Undergraduate Financial Aid Information and Application Instructions booklet. Participants in either program engage in noncredit courses and activities that, if successfully completed, lead to a commission as an officer.
