After enlisting, they will be placed in active duty status as an Officer Candidate Petty Officer 3 (E-4) and graduate as an OCPO2 (E-5) in the Navy Reserve. If already in the Reserve, selectees will be placed in an active duty status at their current rank, if higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon receiving their degree, all selectees \u2014 with the exception of cyber warfare engineers \u2014 will be assigned to the next available OCS class in Newport, Rhode Island. CWE selectees will attend Officer Development School (ODS) instead of OCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a selectee fails to successfully complete OCS or ODS for any reason other than injury, the selectee will be required to serve the remainder of their enlisted contract,\u201d according to the NAVADMIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2022\/03\/16\/navy-resurrects-bachelors-degree-program-to-diversify-officer-talent-pool\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7084241.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Navy resurrects bachelor\u2019s degree program to diversify officer talent pool<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Those tapped for the program receive pay and allowances starting at the rate of an officer candidate petty officer third class.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy cut the baccalaureate program in 2003 due to budgetary reasons, but announced in March it was resurrecting it to expand the \u201ctalent pool\u201d of future officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That change stems from recommendations in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2021\/02\/03\/navy-unveils-57-recommendations-from-task-force-one-navy-to-promote-diversity-inclusion-in-the-fleet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Task Force One Navy report<\/a> released in February 2021. The task force was created in June 2020 to address systemic racism within the service, evaluate racial disparities in the military justice system, and examine the fairness of the promotion and advancement process to eliminate \u201cdestructive biases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBringing BDCP back widens the talent pool in our officer ranks by offering opportunities to students at universities without an existing NROTC program,\u201d said Cmdr. Dave Benham, a spokesman for Navy Recruiting Command, in a March email to Navy Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe avenue to get officers out of these schools had been almost exclusively OCS, which requires a degree as a prerequisite,\u201d Benham said. \u201cBDCP allows the Navy to provide this opportunity to current students who qualify, reaching a portion of the undergraduate market that we weren\u2019t able to access.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those eligible to apply must be 19 and enrolled in, or accepted for transfer to, a regionally accredited four-year university. The program is open to civilians, enlisted personnel in the Navy Reserve, and Inactive Reserve personnel from other services who are U.S. citizens and have at least a 2.8 grade-point average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applicants for the Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program can now apply for information warfare
