How many college credits would one need to have to be an officer in the armed forces???

Question

I have a friend who is attending a specialty school like devry, itt, & ecpi. He was thinking about joining, but he wanted to know this first. Thanks.

Answer 1

You need a 4 year degree period.  

Answer 2

as long as it's an accredited college and you have a bachelors. Keep in mind that officers have stricter requirements when compared to someone looking to become an enlisted person.

Answer 3

College degree. Not a specialty school. A regular college diploma. Tell your friend to save his money and go to a state school if he wants to be an officer.  

Answer 4

he needs a degree

Answer 5

You can get an initial commission with as little as 60 credits towards a bachelor's degree.  This would be contingent upon your continuing to earn credits and you must have a bachelors before you can be promoted to Captain (Army).  I am not sure if the specialized institutes (Devry, ITT, et. al.) would be able to be used for credit for a degree for the military.  In this instance, the best bet would be to contact a recruiter.

Answer 6

Speak to a recruiter or visit them online.  

Answer 7

4 year Bachelors' degree.,preferably ina Hard science.  

Devry, ITT and the like are not sufficient.
