CCAF vs JST

[perriquit]

I'm not sure how EC works, but I know that at TESU many people have done the UL PLA courses because the cost is fantastic for just this type of thing. Maybe you want to look into that for EC as well.

From my experience as advisor of both Airforce and Army learners I think a CCAF degree is more valuable than a JST with upper level hours.
First, from most of the JST I have seen, the upper level hours are not significant, and even when a student has a significant number of upper level hours, they probably won't have a place where to fit them.

CCAF on the other hand, has been great making deals with colleges that will take all the 64 credits, some of them will waive general education classes, and if you CLEP upper level hours you could get a Bachelors degree in 10 classes or close to that, which is the minimum in residency requirement for most colleges, with the exception of the Big 3 of course.

You can certainly to a Prior Learning Portfolio to get UL hours, or got to Penn Foster and get those hours for cheap, especially if you are seeking a common degree like Business Administration or Criminal Justice, which Penn Foster offers.

I hope that helps!
