Does your college degree have to be in the sciences to qualify as a Naval Officer?

fslcaptain737 asked:


I’m planning on enlisting in the Naval Reserve for 4 years while I attend college, and then, with my degree, attending OCS and becoming an officer. Does my degree have to be in Computer Science, Engineering, etc or can it be what I want? Thanks. Oh, as as for what I do want, I’m looking at Doubling with Classics and Chemistry.

      Technically? you can have a 4 year degree in underwater basket weaving. But the reality is.. they are looking for Engineering and Hard Science degrees with a 3.5 GPA or better to be competitive. Having a degree is NO guarentee that you will be picked up for OCS. Which communtiy you want will also be a factor.. it’s easier to get into Suplly if you have a Business Admin degree, but of you want IWO.. better have that Comp Sci one or a heavy conentration in network security.

      If you go with your current plan, you better have a lot more to offer the Selection Board.. leadership roles, Volunteerism, sports.. in other words, you must stand out head and shoulders above others in your perr group that have the preferred degree.
