Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) The Maricopa Community Colleges recognize the unique educational problems confronting many active duty military personnel in attaining their educational goals. The colleges have, therefore, established themselves as Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC). This means that the colleges recognize the needs of military personnel in that they provide courses on the various military bases located in Maricopa County and provide opportunities to complete courses through non-traditional means when education is interrupted by military obligations. The Maricopa Community Colleges are open-access institutions that offer maximum credit for educational experiences obtained in the military services, and follow residency statutes applicable to the special needs of servicemen. Maricopa Community Colleges follow the recommendations established by the American Council On Education. If, for any reason, Maricopa Community Colleges' status as a Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC) district is discontinued, it will nonetheless maintain its commitment to students previously enrolled. In addition, the option to enter into a "contract for a degree" allows the community college, as the college of record, to grant a degree upon completion of twelve (12) credit hours at the college and the satisfaction of all other graduation requirements.
