Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges Consortium
Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC), established in 1972, is a
consortium of national higher education associations and more than 1,700
institutional members. SOC Consortium institutional members subscribe to
principles and criteria to ensure that quality academic programs are
available to military students, their family members, civilian employees
of the Department of Defense (DoD) and Coast Guard, and veterans. A
list of current SOC Consortium member institutions can be found on the
SOC Web site at <http://www.soc.aascu.org/>.
SOC Degree Network System
The SOC Degree Network System (DNS) consists of a subset of SOC
Consortium member institutions selected by the military Services to
deliver specific Associate and Bachelor's degree programs to
servicemembers and their families. Institutional members of the SOC DNS
agree to special requirements and obligations that provide military
students, their spouses and college-age children with opportunities to
complete college degrees without suffering loss of academic credit due
to changes of duty station.
SOC operates the 2- and 4-year Degree Network System for the Army
(SOCAD), Navy (SOCNAV), Marine Corps (SOCMAR), and Coast Guard
(SOCCOAST). Refer to the SOC Degree Network System-2 and -4 Handbooks
to view Associate and Bachelor's degree programs, location offerings,
and college information. An electronic version of the Handbook is
posted on the SOC Web site, <http://www.soc.aascu.org>, on the SOCAD,
SOCNAV, SOCMAR, and SOCCOAST home pages.
