Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course
Available in connection with the Marine Officers Selection Office in Boston, the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course (PLC) is open to qualified freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. No formal classes or training takes place during the academic year. Student/candidates attend Officer Candidate School (Quantico, VA) training either in two 6-week sessions (male freshmen/sophomores) or one 10-week session (male and female juniors/seniors).
Pay and expenses are received during training. No commitment to the USMC is incurred after OCS until a degree is awarded and a Second Lieutenant's commission issued. Service obligations are then 3 1/2 years active duty (longer for aviation positions). Student/candidates may drop from the program at any time prior to commissioning.
For more information, contact the Marine Officer Selection Office, Boston, at 617-451-3012.
