Marine Corps University

The mission of Marine Corps University (MCU) is to develop, deliver, and evaluate professional military education (PME) and training through resident and nonresident programs to prepare Marine leaders, both officer and enlisted, to meet the challenges of the national security environment. MCU also preserves, promotes, and displays the history and heritage of the Marine Corps. As the Marine Corps proponent for PME, MCU focuses on the development of leadership, warfighting, and staff operations abilities of the nation's military forces through resident and nonresident learning programs. Graduates are prepared to perform with increased effectiveness in service, joint, interagency, intergovernmental and multinational environments at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war, across the range of military operations.
