Military Transfer Credits
GMC Online is working hard to award as many credits as possible for military-related training, and courses. To assist in this mission, we have created the Associate of Applied Science in Technical Studies that will allow for maximal credit transfer to earn your degree as quickly as possible. Not to mention, an AAS degree with us will also allow you to continue your education, and earn a Bachelor of Applied Science, too! The BAS program you’re eligible for will vary depending on the military credits that are provided to us on your JST, or CCAF. To be eligible for this degree program, you must have at least 22.5 credit hours of occupational/technical courses within an accepted military specialty. For more information, call an enrollment coach, or submit a request for information.
