CCAF vs JST

[Prloko]

I spoke with school advisers on this before and this is the downfall of the CCAF. Being its a community college, their credits are considered lower level. Several years back, TESC (now TESU) took some of my CCAF courses in transfer and transcribed them as upper level. That has since changed recently (within the last few years). This will not stop another school from transcribing it as upper level, but its rare. Likewise, COSC transfers in some upper level CLEP/DSST as lower level, so there is no set standard. It totally depends on the school.

But on the bright side, CCAF IS a community college AND SACS accredited which means the AAS is accepted more widely than JST credit (generally). In fact, there is talk of scrapping the JST and putting all service schools under the CCAF. A law authorizing that has already been passed, but its up to the services to make the move.

But really, I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to have my military training transcribed as college credit, and receive a degree for it. Not many employees on the private side have this distinction.
