Hello I am an MP in the army reserves currently obtaining tuition assistance I was wondering what is a good online nonprofit college that they give credits for military service I prefer it to be non proctor for exams but that does not really matter. I want to major in business or maybe information systems, anything that is useful. I currently hold 9 SH in my JST transcripts. I have also heard that there are courses in ALMS they count towards college credit anybody has experience with that thank you

Based on your JST report, talk with your education counselor about which credits transfer over. Most likely it will transfer to a basic degree, such as an Associates Degree in General Education. Most of the military training you do & schools will take up most of the elective credits, meaning you would have to do a certain amount classes such as core (math, English, etc) to complete the degree.

It’s a win win situation, you train and do what you need to do in the military and it compensates to civilian education in addition to 2 promotion points per credit hour (which is usually 3). Just keep in mind of the degree and where you would like to head in your studies later in life. I hope this helps.

If you need any other advice or tips I’d be glad to help or help you find the answer.

So you want a degree without having to do the work. Sounds about right for a specialist

Full transparency, I work for Purdue University Global, however I honestly believe that we provide unique options for military servicemembers. Some of the other comments are correct, even though your JST suggests college credit, there are many universities who can't fit them into a degree program. And there are some universities who say they're military friendly, but then just place you into their basic degree programs.

Purdue Global has done extensive work evaluating the training and education you receive in the Army, from your Common Core training and occupational training. We offer an associate's degree that was specifically designed to accept your military training and most soldiers can complete their degree in about 6 courses -- which can also bridge into a bachelor's degree. Purdue Global also has a military credit calculator that will give you an estimate on how much credit you could receive for specific degree programs.

However I would suggest you do look at a variety of options, talk to your education counselor and even CO, and have multiple colleges and universities evaluate your JST to see how they all compare.
