College Credit for Marines

Week of February 06, 2012

Many programs offer Marines the opportunity to save money for college classes while on active duty or at the end of their active service. Individuals who are currently on active duty or have served in the Marine Corps or Navy are able to use the Sailor/Marine American Registry Transcript (SMART) system, which helps servicemembers translate their military experience and knowledge into terms recognizable to leaders of the American workforce. The College Level Examination Program and DSST are also programs that offer anyone exams who have gained substantial knowledge from the work force or independently to gain college credit. For more information about college or SMART, visit your base's education office.  To obtain a Sailor/Marine American Registry Transcript, visit the SMART website.
