Educ<strong>at</strong>ional Journey: One Step <strong>at</strong> a Time<br />
Military tuition assistance (TA) can help fund educ<strong>at</strong>ion up through the master’s degree level. The<br />
focus of this article is to look <strong>at</strong> how TA, along <strong>with</strong> some special programs, can help you <strong>with</strong><br />
your journey along the educ<strong>at</strong>ion highway. Let’s look <strong>at</strong> some of the stops along the way.<br />
The associ<strong>at</strong>e degree is a two-year degree awarded after completion of a defined plan of study<br />
composed of approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 60 semester hours of credit. The Associ<strong>at</strong>e of Applied Science degree<br />
awarded by the Community College of the Air Force is such a degree. CCAF students, unlike their<br />
pure civilian counter-parts, average more than 10 years to complete this degree. The AF would<br />
like to see this number drop to six years and one means of helping to do this was the<br />
introduction of the GEM program. GEM stands for general educ<strong>at</strong>ion mobile and is a partnership<br />
between civilian academic institutions and CCAF to offer courses online th<strong>at</strong> will s<strong>at</strong>isfy the 15<br />
general educ<strong>at</strong>ion requirements for the CCAF degree. This program eases the course selection<br />
process and registr<strong>at</strong>ion via single-point access on the Air Force Virtual Educ<strong>at</strong>ion Center (AFVEC).<br />
An associ<strong>at</strong>e degree is not required in order to go to the next level—the baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e degree—<br />
and the baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e degree does not have to be in the same subject as the associ<strong>at</strong>e degree.<br />
However, building off of the found<strong>at</strong>ion laid by the associ<strong>at</strong>e degree will get you to the<br />
baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e degree <strong>at</strong> a faster pace. This is the idea of another special program known as<br />
AU-ABC which stands for Air University (AU), Associ<strong>at</strong>e to Baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e Cooper<strong>at</strong>ive. In this<br />
program, civilian institutions of higher learning are partnering <strong>with</strong> AU to provide Air Force<br />
students <strong>with</strong> a clear p<strong>at</strong>h to the baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e degree. There are two AU-ABC program<br />
c<strong>at</strong>egories. C<strong>at</strong> 1 is designed for Airmen who have completed their CCAF degree. Schools<br />
particip<strong>at</strong>ing in this program guarantee CCAF gradu<strong>at</strong>es th<strong>at</strong> no more than 60 semester hours<br />
of additional credit will be required to earn a bachelor’s degree. C<strong>at</strong> 2 is designed for Airmen<br />
who are currently enrolled in CCAF. Partnering schools will assist students in identifying specific<br />
prerequisite courses th<strong>at</strong> s<strong>at</strong>isfy either CCAF general educ<strong>at</strong>ion requirements or program electives<br />
which will, <strong>at</strong> the same time, s<strong>at</strong>isfy bachelor’s degree requirements. Once CCAF requirements<br />
have been met, the institution guarantees no more than 60 semester hours would be required to<br />
complete the degree.<br />
There is an exception however as world events have gener<strong>at</strong>ed a huge need for language and<br />
area specialists. TA is there to help as long as you find an accredited degree program. The<br />
choice of programs is up to you.<br />
Airmen who entered the AF <strong>with</strong> a master’s, earned one while on active duty, or have a<br />
professional degree, are not eligible to use TA to earn a master’s degree regardless of who paid<br />
for the first master’s. An exception to this policy exists as a result of world events. The Air Force<br />
has a huge need for language and area specialists. There is a unique opportunity to have the AF<br />
pay for a second master’s degree through the Intern<strong>at</strong>ional Affairs Specialist (IAS) program. The<br />
actual web link is quite long so enter the AF Portal and type in “IAS Program” in the search box<br />
and hit enter. The IAS Program should come up as the #2 on the search results list. The link will<br />
provide you <strong>with</strong> all the details on the IAS program and how to apply. If you have questions on<br />
this or any of the other programs in this article contact the educ<strong>at</strong>ion center <strong>at</strong> DSN 782-5148.<br />
