Here's what makes it unique:
* Online and Distance Learning: CCAF courses are primarily delivered online, making it accessible to airmen deployed worldwide or stationed at various bases.
* Accreditation: It's accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, meaning its degrees are generally recognized by civilian employers and other institutions.
* Associate Degree: The primary degree offered is an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. There are various specializations available depending on an airman's Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC).
* Career-Focused: The curriculum aligns closely with Air Force jobs and skills, providing relevant education that enhances an airman's career.
* Tuition-Free (mostly): While technically not entirely free, the costs are generally minimal for those actively serving in the Air Force, often covered through military tuition assistance programs.
In short, the Community College of the Air Force is a valuable resource for enlisted Airmen seeking to further their education while serving their country.
