  3. Commentary • Hosting an NROTC program at ASU benefits students, the University, and the Navy • NROTC students pursue majors in humanities, languages, computing and informatics, science & engineering • A technical degree is “strongly encouraged”, but not necessary • Positive news exposure not nearly enough to divert attention away from the President Obama honorary degree controversy
