OFF-DUTY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES This section covers some of the off-duty educational programs designed to help you in your career and allow you to improve your education. Some programs are Navywide and others are local. Take advantage of as many of the available educational programs as you can. For detailed information on off-duty educational programs, contact your ESO. Navy Campus Navy  Campus  is  the  name  given  to  in-service voluntary  educational  programs  and  the  supporting services  provided  by  the  Navy  to  help  you  with  your education.  Navy  Campus  includes  all  educational activities,  from  basic  education  skills  preparation  to graduate study, that contribute to the general academic and vocational development of naval personnel. In the following paragraphs, you will learn about some of the educational opportunities available to you through Navy Campus. For further information on those opportunities or to find out about other Navy Campus programs,  see  your  ESO,  career  counselor,  or  Navy Campus representative. BASIC  SKILLS  PROGRAM.—Many  shore stations  and  some  large  ships  provide  tuition-free, on-duty courses to help Sailors improve their skills and military performance. The basic courses offered include subjects such as English, mathematics, and reading. The Basic Skills Program offers courses to people who need to earn high school diplomas. The Navy pays for all high school completion courses personnel take during off-duty hours. However, the Navy encourages young  people  to  stay  in  school  and  graduate  before enlisting in the Navy. PROGRAM   FOR   AFLOAT   COLLEGE EDUCATION  (PACE).—The  Program  for  Afloat College  Education  (PACE)  provides  undergraduate courses  from  accredited  colleges  or  universities  to shipboard  personnel.  Civilian  instructors  teach  the courses  aboard  ship.  The  Navy  fully  funds  PACE courses; however, students must pay course registration fees and purchase their own books. Tuition Assistance (TA) Program The  Tuition  Assistance  (TA)  Program  provides financial  assistance  to  eligible  personnel  who  attend educational institutions on a voluntary, off-duty basis. Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) The Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) provides support to the voluntary education  programs  of  all  the  military  services. DANTES  is  not  a  Navy  activity,  but  is  part  of  the Department  of  Defense.  DANTES  administers nontraditional education; that is, education that does not take place in a formal classroom. DANTES provides a wide range of examination and certification programs, operates  an  independent  study  support  system,  and provides other support and developmental activities. DANTES  EXAMINATION  PROGRAMS.— DANTES  administers  and  sponsors  examination programs at over 560 test centers throughout the world.
