As with all Starfleet officers, Starfleet Marine Corps officers earn their degrees and commissions after graduating Starfleet Academy. Cadets are not required to specify their intention to become a marine officer during their first year, and all cadets are encouraged to learn more about the Starfleet Marine Corps.
As with all Starfleet officers, Starfleet Marine Corps officers earn their degrees and commissions after graduating Starfleet Academy. Cadets are not required to specify their intention to become a marine officer during their first year, and all cadets are encouraged to learn more about the Starfleet Marine Corps.


Those cadets who are seriously considering becoming a marine officer will typically seek a marine mentor and begin working on their application into the program after their first year, although the marine officer selection process can start at any point within the first 3 years at the academy.
There are two routes to becoming a Marine officer at the Academy:
* declared Marine majors
* non-Marine majors


Prospective marine officers typically choose one of the following majors and complete the requirements just as any other cadet, but upon graduation, they receive a commission in the [[Starfleet Marine Corps]]:
==Declared Marine Majors==
Cadets who declare their major at the Academy as the Marine major complete both the core Academy curriculum as well as specialized coursework from the '''Starfleet Marine Training College'''. These cadets typically seek to become Marine command officers who go on to lead squads, contingents, and the Marine Corps as a whole.
 
===Marine Major Requirements===
To complete the Marine Officer major, a cadet must complete the following credits:
*Course 1
*Course 2
*Course 3
*Course 4
*Course 5
*Course 6
*Course 7
*Course 8
*Course 9
*Course 10
*Course 11
*Course 12
*Course 13
*Course 14
*Course 15
*Course 16
*Course 17
*Course 18
 
The Marine cadet must also complete a minor from one of the following:
{|
|
* [[Academy Majors and Minors/HCO|Helm/Navigation]]
* [[Academy Majors and Minors/HCO|Communications/Operations]]
|
* [[Academy Majors and Minors/Engineering|Engineering]]
* [[Academy Majors and Minors/Security & Tactical|Security]]
|}
 
==Non-Marine Majors==
The Starfleet Marine Corps depends on the skills of numerous other duty posts within their ranks to achieve their mission goals in addition to Marine command officers. These duty posts parallel those of non-Marine officers, and thus, these officers typically choose from one of the following majors and complete the requirements just as any other cadet, but upon graduation, they receive a commission in the [[Starfleet Marine Corps]] to become Marine pilots, communications officers, intelligence officers, engineers, and so forth:

Non-marine majors who wish to become marine officers should seek a marine mentor and begin working on their application into the Starfleet Marine Corps after their first year, although the marine officer selection process can start at any point within the first 3 years at the Academy.
==Starfleet Marine Basic School==
After graduation, marine officers who did not complete the Marine major at Academy undergo additional training at the '''Starfleet Marine Basic School''' before given an assignment in the fleet. Here, they complete specific marine coursework as well as physical conditioning and exercises.


===Starfleet Marine Basic School===
:''Non-Marine Corps officers who wish to become Marine officers later in their careers are also eligible to undergo training at the Basic School provided that they meet the requirements on their physical and performance evaluations.''
After graduation, marine officers complete additional training at the '''Starfleet Marine Basic School''' before given an assignment in the fleet. Here, they complete specific marine coursework as well as physical conditioning and exercises.


Emphasis is placed on combat-related skills, although '''marine officers are Starfleet officers first and foremost''', sworn to uphold the values of the Federation and seek avoidance of collateral damage, even at the cost of their own lives.
