NAVY CAMPUS CERTIFICATION/DEGREE
PROGRAM
The Navy has made arrangements with a number of
2-year and 4-year colleges to waive residency
requirements for active duty personnel so that they may
complete degree programs.
SERVICE MEMBERS OPPORTUNITY
COLLEGES NAVY ASSOCIATE DEGREE
PROGRAM
SOCNAV was implemented in 1984 in conjunction
with Service Members Opportunity Colleges (SOC) to
offer Navy personnel associate degrees in technical
areas associated with their rating and military job.
Current programs are Data Processing, Management
Science, and General Studies. Additional networks are
being developed for 2-year associate degrees in the
following areas-Communication Electronics, Digital
Electronics, and Law Enforcement.
SKILL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
This fully funded, on-duty program may be offered
to shore and afloat commands by request of the CO.
Courses are intended to improve individual competency
in reading, mathematics, English, and writing skills.
Courses are taught under contract with civilian colleges.
NAVY CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL
COMPLETION PROGRAM
This program is offered either on-base or off-base
and it enables personnel to earn their high school
diploma. The level of assistance available for Navy
members who do not have a high school diploma is 100
percent of high school completion courses and
instructional related fees.
NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM
This program enables enlisted personnel to register
in and complete an apprenticeship in a civilian trade as
related to their Navy rating.
It is provided in
cooperation with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET)
is responsible for the administration of National
Apprenticeship Standards within the Navy and for
securing, through prescribed channels, the national
registration of Navy programs of apprenticeship with
the National Office of the Bureau of Apprenticeship and
Training, U.S. Department of Labor.

DEFENSE ACTIVITY FOR
NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATION
SUPPORT
Through DANTES, military personnel can take
college entrance tests as well as tests for college credits.
DANTES publishes an independent study guide and
distributes the American Council on Education (ACE)
Guide, which is used by colleges and universities to
recommend college credit for military training.
ENLISTED EDUCATION ADVANCEMENT
PROGRAM (EEAP)
The EEAP provides an opportunity for highly
qualified and career motivated enlisted personnel to
earn an associate/bachelor of arts or associate/bachelor
of science degree.
Primary consideration for selection to EEAP is the
sea/shore rotation cycle as it affects the potentially
limited opportunity to participate in off-duty education
and the Career Reenlistment Objectives (CREO) of the
member’s particular rating. Other considerations
include performance evaluations, performance in Navy
schools, and evidence of individual effort to advance
academically while in the Navy.
Selectees receive full pay and allowances and may
compete for advancement while enrolled in the
program, but are not eligible for proficiency pay (except
submariners who receive continuous submarine
[CONSUB] pay). Selectees must pay for tuition, fees,
books, and other expenses incurred while participating
in the EEAP. The Navy Tuition Assistance Program
may not be used to defray costs while enrolled in the
EEAP. Eligible students may use in-service Veterans
Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) or
Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) educational benefits
