Get College Credit for Defense Acquisition University Courses

Defense Acquisition University works with several external entities in granting college credit to workforce members who have completed DAU courses.


Through the Strategic Partnership Program, DAU has established partnerships with colleges and universities so Defense Acquisition Workforce members can transfer DAU course work toward college and university degrees and certificates. While each partnership is unique, the objective of the partnership program is to provide opportunities to maximize academic accomplishments by receiving credit for DAU courses toward an undergraduate, graduate, or certificate program offered by a strategic partner.

That's correct, but I'm like dfrecore in wondering if being of these ranks automatically means you transfer in 15 ACE approved credits only leaving the 7 classes left that they mention.  I don't have my Bachelors yet and am not a Senior NCO yet, but this could be a great program to loook into down the road.

My (use to be called SMART) joint service transcript is broken down in sections. Each rank gave credit for certain things that you supposedly learned to get to the next rank. My rate (what Navy calls jobs) was broken down by classes to get that job. Then C school (or in my case nuclear power school) was broken down by classes and training. There is a section for CLEPs and DANTES taken while in. And so on. My guess, if they are claiming “this rate or higher” for an organizational leadership degree, without regard to Rate/MOS, or branch,  is that they are basing it entirely off of the training to get to those ranks.
