Airmen Can Earn degrees Through Air University

Airmen now can apply their Community College of the Air Force credits toward a bachelors degree from a variety of universities and colleges. This can be done through the Air Force Virtual Education Center which links the student to the new Air University Associate-to-Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU-ABC) program. The Air Force Portal acts as the gateway to the program, which allows students to do everything they need to online. To participate, registrants must be active duty Air Force, Air Force Reserve or Air National Guard members. Degree requirements can be completed, however, after retirement or separation from the service. Students use their Common Access Cards for identification and go to the Air Force Portal to access the AFVEC. Once there, they click on the AU-ABC link that brings up information about all AU-ABC programs. Colleges and universities involved in the program currently offer 71 bachelors degrees.
