Bachelor's Degree. Officers in the Marine Corps are confident, determined decision-makers who have earned the respect of others. They lead by example, accomplish the mission and take care of the Marines in their charge.You must have college coursework toward a Bachelor's degree underway or completed before applying for the officer commissioning programs. Those still in college will become part of the Platoon Leaders Class, and those who have a college degree will complete the Officer Candidate Course.Additionally, you can become an officer through the NROTC program at your college or university.


Can you do marine after bachelore in HR?

Yes, but you still need to be physically qualifiedand graduate from from enlisted boot camp if that is the route you choose. If you have a Bachelor Degree in H.R. you can apply to be an officer in the Marine Corps while attending college or be part of the NROTC program, but you will still have to graduate from O.C.S. (Officer Candidate School).There is a reason for the slogan "The Few, the Proud, the Marines" and "Leaders among Leaders". I was an officer in the Marine Corps and it isn't easy. The Marine Corps gives you many challenges to accomplish and it makes a better leader out of you. The easy part is getting a Bachelor Degree in college.

Do you have to go through college NROTC to become on officer in the US Marine Corps or is high school NROTC enough?

In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.
