Defense Acquisition Flexible Education

October 8, 2008 By admin

One of the options for a member of the Armed Forces looking to go to college is to make use of the Defense Acquisition University Flexible Education Program. It may be a program well suited to your individual needs. The Army Flexible Education program is a strategic partnership that certifies that the degrees offered and certificates granted by the program will meet basic mandatory guidelines for educational standards in a large number of career fields and vocational careers.

Much of what the DAU and Army Flexible Education program is consists of a type of clearinghouse program, that helps match the individual Servicemember to his or her ideal college career path. This is a basic agreement that all current, former and future DAU students will be able to work in the program to earn both undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates at one of the sponsoring educational institutions. The Defense Acquisition University can assist in getting practical Army experience qualified for college credit, and help with matching up practical Army experiences with actual college credit. This is an Army sponsored flexible study program designed to help match Army personnel with educational objectives, through a strategic agreement and partnership. The program assists in offering programs for: undergraduate degrees, undergraduate certificates, graduate degrees and graduate certificates. At the level of Undergraduate, students can transfer up to half of the credits needed for a particular certificate or up to 90 semester hours toward a specific undergraduate degree or bachelors degree. Much of this program is available through distance learning, both using correspondence courses and over the Internet. The Army Flexible Education Program is one option to check out what is available, and to even start to attend classes over the Internet before you leave the military. In addition the program has partnered with a number of institutions including the University of Maryland, and Maryland University College, as well as a number of other facilities and locations for in person education located around the metropolitan Washington D.C. area, and other various locations around the world where the U.S. Army serves. At the graduate level things are stricter, but it is still possible to transfer up to six credit of practical Army educational experience toward a graduate level degree.
