Education: Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges



Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges is a consortium of more than 1,800 public and private colleges and universities as well as higher-education associations. SOC degree programs are mainly for Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard members.

Service members choose an SOC college as their “home” college, which then evaluates military experience and schooling, and awards credits toward a degree. The college also works out a degree plan. As service members move, they can take classes offered by other SOC schools and have those credits transferred to their home school.

Following the student agreement (degree plan), a degree is awarded when all SOC requirements are met. At least one quarter of the degree requirements must be completed through the home college. The program has two-year associate’s degree and four-year bachelor’s degree options.

Also available are SOCGuard, which provides education opportunities to National Guard members, and the Concurrent Admissions Program for Army Enlistees, which offers college admission for recruits when they enlist.
