I am not a Marine but is the same for Army, AF, and NAVY. All you need is to find the requirement for OCS which usually in the reserves is to have at least 90 credit hours towards a degree. A BA will give you the advantage over someone who has not finish yet. Also the Marines might have upgraded the standard like the Army due to strenght issues to open the OCS program to college grads only but you will be done in 2 semesters. Reserve OCS usually is not accepted in the Active duty side so if your intentions are to go active it will be as enlisted, for active you need ROTC or active OCS which you have to join as enlisted and then apply but you can after 6 months. You can get this info better from your personnel office not the recruiter, he just recruits enlisted and he dont care about your carrer only your contract.
For those of us in the MMR program where I finished college it was 6 to 8 years, depending on the community you joined. The guys with the longest contracts were those in the aviation community, while those of us who decided to go right to sea duty got shorter contracts.
