Deductions & credits

My daughter is 22 and goes to college full time. She got married last March to a marine. He has been deployed in the middle east for most of the year. They have not lived together and he hasn't paid for any of her expenses. She worked part time to help pay for some of her school bills very minimum. I understands she has to file married jointly or seperately but how do they do that. Do they file married jointly and only claim her W-2 information on her part time job? Also mark on her return yes someone else can claim her? I assume as her parent and that we have paid for all her expenses and tuition that I can still claim her on our taxes for dependent and college credit, is that correct? Thanks.
