Marine Career College Program (MCCP)

Overview:

Today's Marines are taking advantage in ever increasing numbers of academic degree program offered by SOCMAR member schools. The Marine Career College Program (MCCP) expands the range of educational opportunities available for Marines who would like to apply their military training and workplace skills and experience toward completion of a occupational speciality-related college degree. The goal is encourage Marines to attain the same level of career development and professional recognition as their counterparts in their sister Services and civilian society.

How MCCP Works. The goal of the program is to support the Marine's career and personal development by providing comprehensive degree plans and roadmaps which maximize the credit which member schools will award for Marine Corps training and experience.

• Each of the selected Marine Occupational Fields have been matched with existing SOCMAR Degree Networks, member institutions and degree/certificate program curriculums. Participating SOCMAR Career Network schools are committed to award college credit based on American Council on Education recommendations for military service school courses, Marine workplace experience, the Marine Corps Institute, credit by examination programs and professional/occupational certification examination programs where applicable to degree requirements.
  
• Marine Corps Career Degrees incorporate the Guaranteed Transferability provisions of the SOC/SOCMAR system.
  
• The Marine Career College Program will be briefed to Marines at all MOS-awarded formal schools and MOS advanced courses. MCCP MOS-related curriculum offerings - SOCMAR Career College Degree Roadmaps - are summarized on the SOC Web Site, and displayed on the MCCCP member Web Sites.
  
• To qualify for college-level credit for Marine training and experience, the Marine must enroll in a SOCMAR Career College Network program offered on base or via distance learning. Upon successful completion of no more than two courses, the school will conduct an official evaluation of his/her service school training, other college courses, and issue a SOCMAR Student Agreement/MCCP Degree Plan. This SOCMAR Contract-for-Degree provides the student's degree/certificate roadmap and establishes the school as his/her "home college" which will apply all subsequent coursework, even if completed at other colleges, toward the MCCP degree/certificate.
  
• Additional Occupational Field-related Degree Roadmaps are under development..
