What is the Command and Staff College Distance Education Program (CSCDEP)?
The Marine Corps Command and Staff College Distance Education Program is a seminar-based program offered to eligible students from the U.S. and the international community. The CSCDEP curriculum is derived from and parallels the Command and Staff College resident curriculum. Every student is provided a faculty instructor and is guided through the learning via an onsite and/or online seminar. The program is offered in four venues to maximize opportunities for students to successfully complete all JPME Phase I and Service PME requirements within one to two years. The program content ranges from theory and nature of war to operation planning.
