SOCNAV consists of accredited colleges offering
associate (SOCNAV-2) and bachelors (SOCNAV-4)
degree programs to Navy members worldwide either in
resident courses or through distance learning.

student must establish academic residency with the
“parent” institution. The “parent” college issues an
official evaluation of all prior learning in the form of a
SOCNAV Student Agreement. This agreement serves
as the student’s academic plan and contract for the
degree.
The SOCNAV-2 and SOCNAV-4 Handbooks serve
as manuals for the program and are used by the Navy
College Offices’ education specialists and guidance
counselors to advise members interested in SOCNAV.
The SOCNAV program manager can be contacted by
e-mail at socmail@aascu.org. Further information on
this program is also on the following web site:
