Central Texas College Serving Active Military Students
August 5th, 2006The Statesman (requires registration to view) reports about Central Texas Community College located in Killeen, TX and its role of educating memebers of the armed forces. It’s the second largest college to contract with the military, along with being the nation’s fifth largest offering online degree granting programs.
74% of enrolled students are members of the military. Notably, the Army offers $4500 per year to pay for tuition.
College degrees are increasingly becoming a prerequisite for promotion. The Chronicle reported that the Navy in August adopted a rule effective in 2011 requiring all sailors to hold at least an associate degree to qualify for promotion to senior enlisted ranks.
If you are currently serving or thinking of signing up, check out Central Texas College’s website for enrollment, tuition, and benefit information.
