Are there decent online military colleges?

I'm considering enlisting, but I can't move right now due to family obligations. Are there reputable online military colleges I could look into? Any experiences to share?

Sure, there are definitely reputable online colleges that are affiliated with military institutions. A couple to consider are the American Military University (AMU) and the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA).

AMU is part of the accredited American Public University System and offers more than 200 degrees and certificates in a wide variety of fields. They're committed to providing quality education while respecting military commitments — many of their faculty and staff have also served in the military.

The USDLA is not a college, but rather an association that identifies quality distance learning opportunities. Their members include top military schools like the Naval War College and the United States Air Force Air University, both of which offer online courses and degree programs.

Another well-regarded institution is the Penn State World Campus, which isn't a military institution itself but has been named as the best online school for veterans by U.S. News & World Report. They partner with the Community College of the Air Force to offer several degree completion programs online.

While these can all be good options depending on your career interests, make sure to do some additional research to find the program that fits your desired area of study and aligns with your personal and professional goals. You might also want to look into military tuition assistance and other forms of financial aid that can make these programs more affordable.

Just remember that like any other form of education, the quality of your experience and knowledge you gain heavily depends on your personal efforts and engagement with the program.
