We follow American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations for all evaluated Army courses and occupations.
Columbia College requires the Joint Services Transcript (JST) for credit evaluation. The JST allows enlisted service members who advance up to and beyond officer status to continue to benefit from updated transcripts.
Other military documents may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. However, the JST is the only guaranteed transcript for evaluation.

The Career NCO Degrees Program is available to all NCOs at any point in their career but maximum credit for Army leadership schools is based on completion of the Non-commissioned Officer Educational Schools (NCEOS) through Sergeants Major Course. It includes management-related degrees listed in ArmyIgnitEd’s fully developed degree maps.
We offer two degrees in this program:
The Enlisted Education Program allows entry-level Soldiers in Combat Arms MOSs in Career Management Fields (CMFs) 11 Infantry, 13 Field Artillery, 14 Air Defense Artillery and 19 Armor to obtain an associate degree during their first term of enlistment. Program criteria require participating colleges to accept ACE recommended credit for military courses; provide AA, AS and AGS degrees; minimize academic residency requirements; maximize credit transfer between colleges; and provide assessment of prior learning/career experience.
Columbia College offers the Associate of General Studies for this program.
