General Information

• SDCC has articulated the Navy PFM course for one college credit. Navy personnel who have graduated from the Navy PFM course qualify. Typically, it can be difficult to apply one credit and meet the requirements of a three credit semester long course at most colleges and universities. With that in mind, we have taken the initiative of developing a two credit online course that will be available upon completion of the Navy PFM course. Sailors who have completed the requirements of both the Navy PFM course and the online PFM course will be given credit for completing the three credit Consumer Studies 110 course offered by San Diego City College and Mesa College and transferable to any Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC).

• For additional information or to see if you qualify contact a PFM counselor.
