How Does Our College Join SOCCOAST?
SOCCOAST colleges provide degree programs on or accessible
to Coast Guard installations when the Coast Guard determines
that a need for particular areas of study exists at a location.
The process for determining what curricula are offered and which
colleges will deliver them is as follows:
- The Coast Guard identifies a need for a SOCCOAST curriculum
at the installation.
- The Coast Guard chooses an accredited college willing to
offer the degree program. (Note: Consult "Institutional
Requirements for Membership in the SOCCOAST System" in Section
One of the SOCCOAST-2 or SOCCOAST-4 Handbook for
detailed requirements of potential SOCCOAST institutions.)
- The Coast Guard requests that SOC invite the college to join
SOCCOAST and to submit its curriculum for review.
- If the college is not a SOC member, SOC sends a letter of
invitation and an application for SOC membership, notifying the
college that participation in SOCCOAST requires SOC membership.
- If the college is already a SOC member, SOC prepares the
curriculum exhibit in a standard SOC format and sends it to the
college for verification of its accuracy. The college's course
descriptions are then sent to other members of the curriculum
network for review.
- After all of the above steps are completed, SOC sends the
college an Institutional Agreement Form listing the requirements
for membership, the responsibilities of the college, and the
SOCCOAST degree networks in which the college has agreed to participate.
- Upon receipt of a signed Institutional Agreement Form, the
college is accepted as a SOCCOAST member.
