Your military service may have earned you college credit. Many schools and colleges award military students credit towards a degree based on training, coursework, and occupational specialty. (U.S. Veterans; Magazine.)
Below you may find information that can help you make the most of your military experience. If you need help, be sure to reach out to a military-friendly college like Trident to ask questions. We love to serve those who have served our country!
