* The college or university: Each institution has its own policies regarding awarding credit for military experience. Some may offer more credit than others, or may only offer credit for certain MOSs.
* The specific course(s) taken: The military training may be compared to specific college courses, and credit might be granted on a course-by-course basis, rather than for the entire MOS. A thorough review of your training records and a comparison with college course descriptions is needed.
* Credit by examination: Some colleges allow military personnel to earn credit by demonstrating competency through exams (like CLEP, DSST, or DANTES). Your MOS training might allow you to successfully challenge exams for college credit in relevant fields.
To find out how many college credits your 15T MOS might be worth, you should:
1. Contact the registrar's office or military education office at the college(s) you are interested in attending. Provide them with your MOS and a copy of your training records.
2. Explore credit by examination options. Research CLEP, DSST, and DANTES exams to see if any align with your MOS training.
3. Utilize the American Council on Education (ACE) website. ACE reviews military training and often provides recommendations on college credit equivalencies. This is a good starting point for research.
In short, there's no single answer; you need to do the research based on your specific situation and the institution you're considering.
