I'm active duty military, and will be until I retire in 2034. I don't plan on working past this point but who knows.
I have 34 credits from a previous college and 9 credits on my JST. (I can upload these transcripts if it helps.)
I plan on getting a degree in business. I'm thinking either entrepreneurship or finance. (My military rate is Storekeeper.)
My goal is to not pay a dime out of pocket and to get my bachelors degree as fast as possible. (Can I use financial assistance in conjunction with TA?)
I guess what my question really boils down to is do any of you know what all military tuition assistance covers? I'm assuming there's a max on how many CLEPS and other "outside credits" are covered annually. And also is there a specific college that I should look into?
Thank you for any and all help.
Rules change all the time. The Army once paid for as many CLEP, DSST and ECE exams as I wanted. Take as many as you can and do not stop. You never know which ones might help. I used TA and it was at 100% at the time. Save your Post 9/11 GI Bill for when you retire.
BTW, look into Vincennes University. They only require 6 SH from them for an AS degree. Univ of Alaska only required 3 SH for an AS degree.
