Do you know colleges that accept military credits?

Hey, guys! I have been in the military for a bit and I have earned certain credits through my service. I want to apply to a college that can accept these. Any ideas which colleges are accepting military credits?

Absolutely, many colleges and universities in the U.S. recognize the value of military training and are quite willing to accept military experience as college credit. This is usually done through the evaluation of your Joint Services Transcript (JST), Community College of the Air Force transcript (for Air Force personnel), or Defense Language Institute transcript (if you trained in foreign languages).

A few universities that are known to be military-friendly include:

1. University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC): UMGC is one of the leaders in accepting military credits. They are well versed in transfer issues specific to military personnel and aim to maximize your credits earned during service.

2. Thomas Edison State University: TESU has an extensive record of helping military members translate their training and experience into academic credit.

3. Excelsior College: Excelsior is another institution that is known to be military-friendly. They offer a variety of tools and resources on their site to help you determine how your military training and experience can translate into credits.

4. Colorado State University-Global Campus: This university has been serving military students for many years and accepts a wide array of military credits.

5. American Military University: AMU features many programs favored by military members and is a great advocate for the conversion of military experience to academic credit.

Remember to send them your transcripts from your military service so they can evaluate how many credits they can award you for your training and experience. It's also a good idea to talk with an admissions counselor about your military credits to understand how they will apply to your degree plan.
