We are currently accepting applications from full-time college students (Freshmen-Seniors) and college graduates who are morally, mentally, and physically qualified for service as Commissioned Officers. For Freshmen through Juniors (Platoon Leaders Course - PLC), Officer Candidates School convenes in the summer similar to an internship in order to prevent interference with the fall and spring semesters. Seniors and college graduates (Officer Candidates Course - OCC) have the opportunity to attend Officer Candidates School in the summer, fall, or winter. The Marine Corps needs elite leaders who are capable of facing today's challenges and who will eventually assume the highest positions of command, government, and citizenship.
