I talked to my SMI in my MCJROTC Program about this and he said it all depends on the MOS you want. 4 years of college, or a bachelor's degree, is what it takes to be CONSIDERED for OCS. For example, if you wanted to be an Intel officer in the Marine Corps, you would probably want to take some kind of computer class or something of the sort. You also must consider whether this is going to be your career, or just a 4 to 6 year commitment because you wish to serve your country. The best way to answer your question is to ask yourself these questions...

1. What MOS do I want?

and

2. What is involved with this MOS?

Also on an end note: If you do not plan to make a career out of the Marine Corps. I would choose an MOS that would give me a civilian job after the Corps. that I liked. Ive always liked Computers and CIA stuff, so I plan to go into the Corps as an Enlisted Intel worker. When I get out, at least ill be doing something i want to do!

What is the diploma to become a Marine?

You do not need a diploma to become a Marine. You can even enter right after high school. The first thing you will do is go to basic training (bootcamp) to learn the basics of being a Marine. After bootcamp, you will go to either SOI or MOS school depending on which job code you enlist under to obtain specialized training in your job field. The Marine Corps will teach you everything you need to know. There is no need to have a degree unless you want to become an officer. In that event, any 4 year degree is ok. Talk to a recruiter. He or she will be able to tell you the ins and outs in a better one-on-one conversation.
