This program is pretty flexible. They also have a good program for evaluating military training to college credits through the DANTES program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excelsior_College Thank You, Brian Webster From: AF [mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2018 10:41 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] OT finishing a degree My oldest son has attended just about every college and university in Utah I think.

Re: [AFMUG] OT finishing a degree
+1. Also consider going out of state, if possible. Different universities have different transfer rules. Find the place (within reason) that gets him closest to the degree, and go talk to them. You might get lucky with some online courses. bp On 8/25/2018 7:54 AM, Jim Bouse [Brazos WiFi] wrote: As someone who screwed up plenty, I would suggest having him physically visit someone in the department that he needs to be in for the CS degree.
