I'm going to college next year and was wondering what type of degree would be competitive for OCS. I was thinking about double majoring in political science and business adminstration. And what other things should I do that could help prepare me to become an officer in the Coast Guard?

why not apply to the Coast Guard Academy and save the tuition?

provide a good package and the type of degree is secondary.

Thank you. What things could I specifically do to have a good package?

look at other threads in this section......

Engineering, Science and Languages are in my opinion the most helpful... but you can apply to OCS with a degree in basket weaving...
