Which program allows individuals to attend college and go to OCS?

• A. Pre-Commissioning Program
• B. Direct Commissioning Program
• C. Enlisted to Officer Program
• D. Officer Candidate School Track

Answer: (A)

The key idea is identifying a path that lets you pursue college while still staying on the officer-track, leading to Officer Candidate School. The Pre-Commissioning Program is designed for individuals to attend college and, after completing that program, advance to Officer Candidate School for commissioning. This combination of college attendance with a subsequent OCS step is what makes it the best fit. Direct Commissioning bypasses OCS entirely, often relying on professional credentials rather than a college-to-OCS sequence. The Enlisted to Officer Program targets those who are already enlisted, pursuing commissioning through a route that doesn’t center on starting from college to attend OCS. The Officer Candidate School Track focuses on reaching OCS but doesn’t inherently pair that path with attending college as part of the same program.
