The United States Naval Community College (USNCC) was introduced to support enlisted Sailors and Marines in achieving professional certificates and associate degrees that will enhance operational readiness and improve warfighting capabilities, while putting students on a path to lifelong learning. USNCC has since expanded to support active duty enlisted Coast Guardsmen and Coast Guard Reservists.
