SOC Agreements

Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) Consortium colleges and universities are dedicated to helping servicemembers and their families get college degrees. Military students can take courses in their off-duty hours at or near military installations in the United States, overseas, and on Navy ships.

Florida Community College is a member of SOC. Military students who are pursuing a degree or certificate at the College are eligible for a SOC agreement. This agreement will protect your credits as you transfer from duty station to duty station and, if needed, from school to school.

Florida Community College has specific degrees listed as a SOC Degree Network degree. To be added to his list, the degrees have been identified by the military services as a degree of interest for their population. Servicemembers are not limited to pursue the degrees on this list, and a SOC agreement can be provided for any Florida Community College degree or certificate.
