Do you have to finish your Masters Degree for ADO Green to Gold Graduate degree program?

I have heard different answers and wondering if anyone had any official insight. To specify I am wondering if you enter the Green to Gold program to pursue a graduate degree; Do you have to finish the Masters Degree prior to commissioning? I know you have to be full time (9crh per semester) but not 100% on if it must be finished in that time since a Bachelors is the educational requirement for commissioning.

Yes you can enter for a master degree. Part of the ADO requirements if you dig into them are that you must complete your degree within 21 months

Yeap, just contact any ROTC program and bomb them with your questions. They have the latest and greatest!

My understanding from 20 years ago was that you did not have to finish a Masters. I don't know the current policy.

Finish what you started. If you entered the program to earn a Masters' degree, finish the thing before you accept the commission.
