Online Schools That Accept Military Experience

The military lifestyle can make it difficult to obtain a college degree at traditional schools. Unexpected military commitments can prevent servicemen and women from completing courses, which can extend the time it takes for degree completion. Fortunately, a number of traditional and nontraditional schools help members complete their degrees online and even give course credit for military experiences.
  1. Devry

    • Devry University (devry.edu) was one of the first schools to accept the GI Bill after World War II. Since then, Devry has supported military training and offers to accept up to 92 hours of military coursework as education credits. Devry's online degree programs include associate, bachelor's and master's level accounting degrees, bachelor's and master's degrees in technical management, and a master's degree in public administration.
