can college credits be earned for doing army correspondence courses?

Answer 1

A few ACCP courses have been evaluated for credit by ACE but the overwhelming majority are not.

Some of the MOS qualifying courses can get you credit if you also get MOSQ and apply to a college that does experiential credit based on the ACE guides.

You can use those ACCP courses as study prep for standardized exams such as CLEP/DANTES/ECE etc... some of those exams match up nicely to some ACCP courses. Things like counseling, drug abuse, health, etc... These are free for military people too. Most of the ACCP courses are things like "M-16..." or "MOUT" and there aren't many colleges that give credit for that.

In addition to the ACCP courses, you may be eligible to take courses from USAF, USMC, USCG in their correspondence too. And there are also the FEMA EMI correspondence courses that are free and are worth 1 college credit each.

Know too - your tuition assistance can be applied to college correspondence and online courses. There are places like Harvard, Oxford, and UC-Berkeley (and hundreds of others) that are teaching online.

Answer 3

They have the University of Maryland University College and a few other U.S. colleges with branches on some of the U.S. bases. You should be able to work on a graduate degree there. If you have rotating irregular duty and a lot of travel time you might have to go the online route, though. You don't need to use the GI Bill, use your Tuition Assistance.
