The '''V-12 Navy College Training Program''' was designed to supplement the force of commissioned officers in the [[United States Navy]] during [[World War II]]. Between July 1, 1943, and June 30, 1946, more than 125,000 participants were enrolled in 131 [[college]]s and [[university|universities]] in the United States. Numerous participants attended classes and lectures at their respective colleges and earned completion degrees for their studies. Some even returned from their naval obligations to earn a degree from the colleges where they were previously stationed.

The V-12 program's goal was to produce officers, not unlike the [[Army Specialized Training Program|Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP)]], which sought to turn out more than 200,000 technically trained personnel in such fields as engineering, foreign languages, and medicine. Running from 1942 to 1944, the ASTP recruits were expected but not required to become officers at the end of their training.

==History==
The V-12 program was founded to generate a large number of officers for both the [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]] and [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] to meet the demands of World War II, in excess of the number that was turned out annually by the [[United States Naval Academy]] at Annapolis and the [[U.S. Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School]]. Once enrollees completed their V-12-subsidized [[bachelor's degree]] programs, their next step toward obtaining a commission depended on the service branch:<ref name="v-12"/>

'''Navy'''
* Navy officer candidates were required to complete the V-7 United States Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School program. It was a short course of eight months. The first month was spent at Indoctrination School, a "boot camp" for officer candidates that had [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] [[drill instructor]]s. Pre-Midshipmen's School was a preparatory four-month course teaching military skills like seamanship, navigation, ordnance, and how to behave like an officer. Midshipmen's School itself taught academic skills and was three months long. Graduates were commissioned as [[ensign (rank)#United States|ensigns]] in the [[United States Navy Reserve|U.S. Naval Reserve]] and the majority entered into active duty with the U.S. fleet.<ref name="active">{{cite news |title=Ohio Has 14 Among Navy Reserve Grads |newspaper=Steubenville Herald Star |location=[[Steubenville, Ohio]] |date=December 12, 1940}}</ref>

'''Marines'''
* Marine Corps candidates reported directly to [[Recruit training|boot camp]] and were later enrolled in a three-month [[Officer Candidates School (United States Marine Corps)|officer candidate course]]. Once complete, participants were commissioned as [[second lieutenant#United States|second lieutenant]]s in the Marine Corps.<ref name="v-12"/>

===Inception===

When the United States entered the Second World War, American colleges and universities suffered huge enrollment declines. Men of prime draft age who would normally have gone into college (or would have remained enrolled until their course of study was completed) were either drafted, volunteered for service, or dropped out and took jobs in agriculture or war-related industries. As a result, some colleges worried they would have to close their doors for the duration of the conflict.

On October 14, 1942, the [[American Council on Education]] issued a report on how best to use colleges and universities for the war effort. The plan recommended that a "college training corps" be established on college and university campuses, that members of the corps be in uniform and receive active-duty pay, and that graduates be trained in technical specialties that were of use to the Army and the Navy. President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] agreed with this report, and asked the [[Secretary of War]] and [[Secretary of the Navy]] how best they could use higher education in their mobilization plans. The V-12 Navy college training program and the Army Specialized Training Program were jointly announced on December 12, 1942.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cardozier|first=V. R.|date=1993|title=Colleges and Universities in World War II|location=Westport|publisher=Praeger|pages=6–8|isbn=0275944328}}</ref> The V-12 program found more favor with college administrators than did the ASTP. Unlike the ASTP, V-12 students were allowed to attend classes with civilian students and participate in athletics. The majority of the basic curriculum consisted of classes already taught by civilian instructors.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cardozier|first=V. R.|date=1993|title=Colleges and Universities in World War II|location=Westport|publisher=Praeger|pages=55–56|isbn=0275944328}}</ref> Depending on the V-12 enrollees' past college curriculum, they were enrolled in three school terms, or semesters, which lasted four months each.

Captain [[Arthur S. Adams]], from the Training Division of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, was the officer-in-charge of the V-12 program.<ref name="v-12"/> [[Richard Barrett Lowe]], future [[Governor of Guam]] and [[Governor of American Samoa|American Samoa]], was one of its early commanding officers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://americansamoa.gov/governors/lowe.htm|title=Richard Barrett Lowe|last=[[Dakota State University]]|year=2004|publisher=[[American Samoa]]|access-date=31 July 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090601193707/http://americansamoa.gov/governors/lowe.htm|archive-date=1 June 2009}}</ref>

===Scope===

{{Rquote|right| Gentlemen, we are about to embark on an education program that will have important effects on American colleges, on the Navy, and, most important of all, on the lives of thousands of this nation's finest young men. We must educate and train these men well so that they may serve their country with distinction, both in war and in peace. ''Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs, May 14, 1943''<ref name="v-12"/>}}

The V-12 program was economically and functionally beneficial to undergraduate colleges and universities in maintaining enrollments during a general mobilization of manpower for the war, and also met and exceeded the critical needs of the military.<ref name="v-12" />

==Participating institutions==

{{See also |V-12 colleges and universities by state}}

Unlike the ASTP, the Navy predominantly chose small, private colleges for V-12 detachments. Of the 131 institutions selected for line units, approximately 100 could be considered "small," and eighty-eight were private institutions. Eleven were associated with the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. [[Land-grant university|Land grant]] and [[Flagship#University|state flagship universities]] accounted for only eighteen of the 131 detachments.<ref>{{cite book|last=Cardozier|first=V.
