Expand Your Opportunities in Marine Corps Careers through Henley-Putnam University
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces and, at slightly over 186,000 members, is the smallest service. A Marine career is one of the more coveted and prestigious service branches – the rigorous training, unique history, and special recognition given to “grunts” that sets the Marine Corps apart from the pack.
All Marine careers begin with mandatory basic training; those who hope to become an officer must possess a minimum of a four-year degree or higher to qualify for Officer Candidate School (OCS). After enduring initial training, which challenges the physical and mental faculties of recruits and officer candidates, Marines are sent to advanced, specialty training required by their military occupational specialty (MOS).
To achieve your professional aspirations throughout your Marine career, a commitment to education is paramount. Because the Marine Corps is growing (it hopes to achieve end-strength of 202,000 by 2011), more officers with advanced knowledge, training, and subject matter expertise are needed. To become one of ‘the few, the proud’, you need to demonstrate your leadership potential; earning a degree that is directly related to your core mission is an ideal way for you to distinguish yourself from among your fellow Marines.
