Education



The Navy places a lot of value on education. We want Sailors and Officers who can both learn and teach our demanding missions and high-tech work environment demand it. The Navy insists that all recruits have at least a high school diploma or equivalent and all Officers earn a college degree. The Navy encourages all Sailors to pursue their education. To help you, the Navy offers money for college, ways to pay off student loans, and even offers college courses on ships and bases. The Navy has educational opportunities for almost everyone, whether you've just finished high school or already have an advanced degree.

Navy values education as much as any employer. The high-tech environment of the Navy and the critical positions Sailors hold call for quick thinkers and quick learners. That's why the Navy encourages all potential recruits to stay in school and earn a high school diploma. Incoming recruits are required to hold a high school diploma or equivalent.

Some people think joining the Navy means not going to college. Well, it is not TRUE. The Navy may be your best option for getting to college. The Navy has college programs that are available to all new enlistees, such as the Montgomery G.I. Bill, as well as more specialized programs. The Navy can also accelerate your education by helping you get college credits while you serve or helping to pay off your college loans. In addition, the hands-on experience of the Navy gives you a chance to test-drive different careers before you go to college.
