So to make a long story short I am currently deployed with the 82nd airborne in Afghanistan and am thinking about trying to get into the green to gold non-scholarship program when I return to garrison in March as I am currently working on my Associates of Applied Science in Information Technology from Purdue Global and am on track to graduate in March. After some research I found that Campbell University about 30 minutes away from FT Bragg offers a Bachelors of Applied Science in Information Technology program which is offered fully online. Theoretically If accepted into the program I might be able to take all my core classes online and take ROTC at the main campus as an elective which would be the best case scenario as I am a resident of North Carolina and only live about an hour from the university. I sent an email to the FT Bragg Green to Gold Adviser who told me I would most likely be eligible for the summer of 2020 semester. So in summary my main questions are:

1. Is it possible to commission with a Bachelors of Applied Science at all being that its a more technical degree.

2. Is it possible to take online classes in addition to ROTC?

3. To anyone who is familiar with the non-scholarship option and the simultaneous membership program how much of the tuition cost do guard benefits actually cover?

4. How to I actually initiate the process and when should I actually apply to the university?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ops research if often overlooked as a STEM major, the journal of this group is quite good....

Purely a suggestion, OK? I have an interest in career/Eric threads like yours...the more specifics you relate, grades, GPAs, specific course titles, how much STEM and non-STOP you've done, in a detailed biosketch, the more.I and/or.others in here can generally suggest for you...I get what you want, honest, and, I wasn't prior enlisted, your having been will most definitely help.you adjust if you go commissioned or warrant, a lot faster than I did, I saw that in all the prior enlisted I trained with at USAF OTS, I'd been 3 yrs Army ROTC before that, I wasn't able to finish...I'm not saying don't stay Arny, I'm merely saying I impulsively went in right after my first bach, not knowing what questions to ask, not taking time to research properly, not doing grad school first, I'd wanted the clinical.side...I'm only suggesting all that for.you to give you added persoective...if you want more, I can certainly give you a good deal more, I just figured that'd all be at least a good start for you to.look at, honest, OK?
