From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the advent of
World War II , the
U.S. Navy turned to liberal arts colleges to provide a basic education for their recruits.
[1] Between July 1, 1943, and June 30, 1946, more than 125,000 individuals were enrolled in the
V-12 Navy College Training Program which was offered in 131
colleges and
universities throughout the
United States . The purpose of the V-12 program was to grant bachelor's degrees to future officers from both the
U.S. Navy and the
Marine Corps .
[2]
States in alphabetical order
Individual programs at each college varied and included Line units (which were the majority and therefore not indicated), Dental units , Medical units and Theological units . Some colleges were host to more than one type of unit.
