When I was active duty, I was doing Thomas Edison State College, in NJ. They have online programs as well. My 60 credits to date do not include credit for aviation certs. I received some credits from them for military training and experience, but mostly I worked out 2 years of my required Gen. Ed. courses through online courses and CLEP tests.

What I plan to do is enroll in UVSC, get credit for my Aviation certs then transfer those to Thomas Edison and at that point, I'll just have to take my degree related courses in the Conservation field, which includes a few labs that I'll have to work out between my schedule.

Do it cheap my friend!! Don't waste your GI bill just for the name on the paper.
Yeah.. do it cheap, but how much cheaper? I've already had a coupla classes with Riddle, and would I get equal credits elsewhere?

Cheaper IS better, of course, as I just want the sheepskin.. I'm just curious if you know anything about prices? Getting some of these places to pony up numbers is a little trying. Especially when they hear GI Bill- because they envision a guy sitting there with 40 grand to blow.
