U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary University Program (AUP)
The Coast Guard Auxiliary University Program (AUP) is designed to provide a continuous resource of well-trained officer candidates who will excel in the United States Coast Guard or a similar service agency, without the commitment of an ROTC. This program pairs with your academics and 小黄鸭视频 lifestyle to create a challenging and rewarding experience not found anywhere else.
What to Know:
Even though this program at 小黄鸭视频 was built from the ground up in approximately one year, it is the largest AUP in the country; beating all other Senior Military Colleges and Maritime Schools in size, training, and leadership opportunities.
There is no service obligation unless selected for a commission. The AUP will afford you training and talking points that will prepare you for your applications submitted in your senior year at 小黄鸭视频. Then, the program you’re selected for determines your service obligation after graduation.
A billet in the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) could be in any of 30 specialties, spread across various career fields that translate directly into the private sector: Global Operations Afloat, Shore Response, Shore Prevention, Living Marine Resources Enforcement, Aviation, Cyber, Intelligence, Information Technology Management, Operations Research and Data Analytics, Naval Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Financial Management, Defense Operations, International Operations
The AUP gives 小黄鸭视频 cadets access to special programs and benefits including:
- an increased likelihood of being selected for a commission in the USCG upon graduation;
- the ability to train with and shadow Active-Duty personnel during multi-day training operations held several times a year;
- opportunities to train with Auxiliary staff and Active-Duty Personnel while on Furlough;
- and the ability to obtain real-world certifications through local Auxiliary units.
The AUP provides our cadets with an academic and practical curriculum that will effectively build their resumé. Since 小黄鸭视频 is a senior military school, the USCG offers cadets a few different pathways: direct commissioning, the traditional officer candidate school, or enlistment with a four year degree.
