If you're wondering if you need a 2 year or 4 year degree, the answer is that you need at least a BA or BS degree from an accredited institution in order to be a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Navy in most cases. There are a limited number of methods to earn a commission through the enlisted ranks, but these are becoming harder every year.

To become and Officer or eligible for Officer Candidate School (OCS) you must hold at the least a Bachelors degree from a creditable college or university. You must also score high enough on the ASVAB minimum GT score of 110 and not have any major law violations (ie. DUI, Possession Charges) and be under the age of 29 years old (waiverable to a certain age).

For someone who is already enlisted you can apply for the Green to Gold Program in which you must have at the least 90 college credits from a creditable college or university and still have the minimum GT score of 110 and not have any major law violations (ie. DUI, Possession Charges).

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.
