Absolutely! Check with the Office of Veterans Affairs at the college of your choice. You can get approximately six credits for basic training alone. They will also look at your MOS and any schools you attended as part of your military training. Best wishes and thank you for your service!!

Sometimes. It would be best to talk with the institution where the majority of the credits were earned, or alternatively, your most recent institution. They can determine how close you are to meeting their requirements for obtaining a degree. Some have minimum number of credits at their institution. They can also put you in touch with accredited organizations that can assist in consolidating credits.

If the last year you went to college was in 1996 are those credits still good to put toward an associate's degree?

The validity of credits is really up to the institution and the guidelines that they have to meet for their accreditation. There are typically requirements to complete a degree within a certain number of years. Granted it is a more specialized degree, but in my state a law degree must be completed within a five year span. I would inquire with the institution where you earned them. They may be willing to provide an associates degree if you met all the requirements for one in 1996.


Does an English associates degree get you a film producing job?

A film producer is commonly regarded as the person in a film project who writes checks to pay for all the elements in the project. If you earned your associates degree in the English language, then whatever discipline you earned your associates degree in may prove that you are fluent in the English language. If you earned your degree in studies of English, you may have studied stories and literature, which will be helpful in your quest to work in the film industry. There is probably no degree in any discipline or in any language that will 'get' you a job in any industry. Landing a job is always a matter of timing, qualifications and the competition that applies for the post.

What is the difference between an AA and AS degree?

The AA degree is Associates of Arts The AA degree is a two year program that fulfills the requirements leading up to the BA degree (an additional 2 years beyond the AA degree) All the credits earned for the AA degree can transfer to a 4 year university. The AS degree is Associates of Science The AS degree is either a one or two year program depending on your course of study. Some of the credits earned for the AS degree may be able to be transfered to a 4 year university. The best route, for the serious student is to go for the AA. Attending a community college for the first 2 years is half as expensive as doing those first 2 years at a university.
