How would I earn my bachelor degree in the Air Force?
Categories: Bachelor Degree
I have two choices, either borrow a giant loan from the bank and go to a 4 year college or join the air force and get my education there. But I am not sure how I would get my bachelor’s degree in a specific field there. I know that after I enlist I will go through BMT and then technical school. I will be automatically enrolled in the Community college of the Air Force but it doesn’t offer a bachelor degree. So, seriously, how would i get my bachelor’s degree

The Air Force puts a great deal of emphasis on education, right from the beginning. If you are at all inclined to pursue a degree, your leadership will usually allow, and even encourage, you to do so (after you finish your initial upgrade training, usually).
Do NOT forget (too many people do) that the Air Force will pick up the tab for you to take CLEP and DANTES tests. If you are reasonably intelligent, you can get credit for classes by simply passing the exam for that class. I can not overstate how much this can facilitate a degree–get all the easy classes out of the way and only attend the core courses in person.
Not only does this save you time, but money you would have spent going to classes.
