Military School Credits. Military-certified courses need to be accepted for credit by the college in which you are enrolled. If there are problems, the ACE help desk, or the base or post education office, are available. Over 26,000 military members participated in SOC in 1999. SOC is a group of 1,418 colleges and universities that agree to transfer credits among themselves for military members and their families.
Coursework is done in the classroom, at a distance by computer, or by mail.
You don't need to look farther for college credit than the base or post Education Counseling Office. Name the subject and the military probably can test you in it. Pass and you get the credits, usually three credits per subject exam. Air Force enlisted personnel have their own junior college where they can earn an associate degree in applied science earned in over 70 fields. These range from Computer Science Technology, Aircraft Systems Maintenance Technology and Space Operations Technology to Allied Health Services, Paralegal, and Information Management.
