What are the best colleges that take JST credits toward an associates degree?

Can anyone recommend any colleges that will take my JST credits towards an associates degree? I currently have 46 semester hours worth of military education that i already converted with NCI, however I don’t think they’ll allow me to use them towards an AA. Planning on dropping a green to gold packet in the near future once I get my AA.

I'd reach out to local state schools. There are quite a few that have veteran and service member coordinators on staff. Even online you could try SNHU in NH. Good luck, SSG!

I graduated from Columbia Southern University, an online university based in Orange Beach, AL.
They transferred 60 credit hours from JST and would have allowed up to 90.

I sent mine to NCI the first time. Just to turn army schools into college credits for points. Check with the ED center about enrolling for a class with AMU (american military university). Also call them. Check back with NCI a friend of mine paid them for the packet and got an associates in applied sciences, with just army schools.

Have you tried talking to folks in the education office? They might have some insight on this.

depends on what you have and what the degree is in. All schools will have a minimum amount of credit to take with them, they will get their money before handing out a degree
