Yes. I can't speak for the other branches but the USAF has the Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (ABC) program with a lot of schools. Basically, a person has to get their Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) degree and then transfer credits to one of those participating schools. Once the transcripts are processed, the individual is 20 or less classes away from their BA or BS degree. For a lot of AFSCs, Tech school and PMEs fill up a lot of credits for CCAF. I only had to take 5 classes to get me Associates in EOD and 2 more classes to get my associates in law Enforcement.

It really depends on the year the course was taken. The accreditation standards vary based on the course POI. Colleges also look at the length of the classes too.

Great question 1SG (Join to see). I think this may be possible at AMU. Going to tag a few of the experts: Capt Craig Gilman, GySgt George Vukovich, PO3 John Aldrich & Madeline Kronfeld.

I can't remember how many I received from AMU, however, I didn't receive credits for courses I thought I should have. For example, I didn't receive credit for attending the US Army Criminal Investigations Course (ASAC), which is requiring me to take a criminal investigations course from AMU. This is making the class easier but it just is taking time I could be spending on other courses.

you can apply for them to send to you, I got mine back in 2002 when I applied for my MBA in England, they sent them very quickly.

I recieved 60 credits for military experience. CSU basically covers all electives you would have to take without the military exp.
