Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) is one of the sixteen SOCMAR-2 members who are participating in the initial phase of the Marine Corps Career Colleges Program (MCCCP).

The premise behind the MCCCP is to tie in a Marines MOS with a degree plan within the participating network of Schools.  This program, however, does not change or modify NOVA current policy of individual review of  prior credit.  Please refer to the Transfer Credit and Advanced Standing section or our current on-line Catalog for more details. 

To participate in the MCCCP, a Marine will need to complete a SOCMAR with the Campus the degree is sponsored out of.    Please note, in order to receive most of the degrees and or certificates NOVA offers a student need only complete a quarter of the degree from NOVA plus meet the specific requirements of the degree, unless granted a waiver by the granting department.   In other words a Student can transfer into most of the NOVA degree plans three-quarters of their degree, i.e. CLEP/DANTES, SMARTS, AP, other College work, etc.
