How Does Our College Join SOCMAR?
SOCMAR colleges provide degree programs on or accessible to
Marine Corps installations when the Marine Corps 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 Marine Corps identifies a need for a SOCMAR curriculum
at the installation.
- The Marine Corps chooses an accredited college willing to
offer the degree program.
- The Marine Corps requests that SOC invite the college to
join SOCMAR 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 SOCMAR 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
SOCMAR degree networks in which the college has agreed to participate.
- Upon receipt of a signed Institutional Agreement Form, the
college is accepted as a SOCMAR member.
