The Education Center offers several leadership enhancement courses during on-duty hours that are worth college credit. These courses can count toward college degrees and earn promotion points for soldiers. Leadership enhancement courses are designed to supplement training for noncommissioned officers in the areas of supervision, management, communications, and mathematics. The Education Center offers a wide variety of regular college courses from major accredited colleges and universities. Classes are flexibly scheduled and run throughout the year in accelerated terms.
Emphasis is placed on making courses as easy to attend as possible.
The Education Center supports many independent study courses from colleges and universities across the country. Students may continue work on courses started elsewhere or choose courses from catalogues of offerings from major colleges and universities as well as institutions that emphasize non-standard delivery of educational courses. The Education Center provides soldiers with a wide variety of academic and vocational examinations that put life experiences to use as valuable college credit. Passing the tests not only earn college credit and promotion points, but may also count as courses taken while working toward degrees. Distance Learning Opportunities exist to allow student soldiers to pursue their academic programs through Distance Learning projects.
