20 APPENDIX III HOW TO USE REQUIREMENT PAGES 1. REQUIREMENT A college course (or the broader category shown in lieu of a course) required for the degree. 2. SH (SEMESTER HOURS) Semester (or quarter - QH) hours of unduplicated credit needed to meet the requirement. Unduplicated means that the same learning experience cannot already have been used to satisfy another requirement, and that if you combine smaller amounts of recommended credit to meet the total, they must represent unique learning experiences. 3. The letter-number combinations shown represent categories of comparable courses in the system that are guaranteed to transfer. Use the SOC Degree Network System Handbooks to find specific college courses in the categories (SOC-2 Handbook for associate degrees; SOC-4 Handbook for bachelor s degrees). The categories are found in Chapter 8 of the handbooks. Your objective is to identify a college offering a course at a location where you can attend since they are generally not distance learning courses. Once found, determine if it is currently offered and enroll using the procedures of your Army Education Center. SOC Degree Network System Handbooks are available at 4. ARMY If the requirement lists credit for your, work with the college evaluator preparing your Student Agreement to establish that it fully meets the requirement (i.e., it is worth the required number of SH) or that it can be combined with other credit sources. Avoid duplication of credit. ACE Guide Online is available at if you want to examine recommendations in detail. 5. If the requirement lists credit for a military school you have attended, work with the college evaluator preparing your Student Agreement to establish that it fully meets the requirement (i.e., it is worth the required number of SH) or that it can be combined with other credit sources. Avoid duplication of credit. ACE Guide Online is available at if you want to examine recommendations in detail. 6. CERTIFICATION/LICENSURE If the requirement lists credit for a certification or licensure you hold, work with the college evaluator preparing your Student Agreement to establish that it fully meets the requirement (i.e., it is worth the required number of SH) or that it can be combined with other credit sources. Avoid duplication of credit. Additional information is available online at and 7. If the requirement lists acceptable tests and you would like to take them, consult your local Army Education Center or additional information is available at 8. DISTANCE If the requirement shows that distance learning courses are available, contact the college regarding its courses or examine DANTES Independent Study Catalog listings at 92A/Y Coastline CC AA-Distribution Operations Mgmt Emphasis Updated November

21 APPENDIX IV SELECTING THE RIGHT DEGREE 1. SELECTING THE RIGHT ARMY CAREER DEGREE PLAN There are three kinds of degree plans: (1) Army Career Degree: Typical civilian degrees that match the specialty skills of an, (2) Army Degree General: Typical civilian degrees with more general content, and (3) Army Degree Specialized: Degrees especially crafted to accommodate the uniquely military or otherwise not-easily-matched-to-civilian-courses skills of an. ARMY CAREER DEGREE The Army Career Degree is based on college degrees that uniquely relate to an 's skills and contain specific college courses that match its competencies. (Example: A computer studies degree in which recommended credit for military learning is assigned to college courses typically found in a computer studies major.) ARMY CAREER DEGREE GENERAL The Army Career Degree ARMY CAREER General is DEGREE based on college GENERAL degrees that match the recommended credit from Army learning experiences to their requirements in more general ways. Military credit recommendations are assigned to one or more general categories (e.g., a "Skill Area", "Career Component", "Professional Focus", "Emphasis", "Aviation Maintenance" or another broad subject area) instead of to specific college courses uniquely identified with the 's special competencies. Possibly useful to soldiers, but less effective in mapping competencies to civilian college courses normally associated with their specialties. The degree may have a General Studies, Management, or other broad title, possibly useful to soldiers, but not uniquely related to the 's special competencies (Example: A computer specialist matched to a degree in Management or General Studies rather than computer studies). ARMY CAREER DEGREE GENERAL ARMY CAREER DEGREE SPECIALIZED The Army Career Degree Specialized has many of the same qualities as the General degree except its title and major courses may be predominantly military in nature or are otherwise different than a typical civilian course for the same skill. The degree title and major courses would not typically be found in civilian higher education. As with the General Purpose degree plan, the Specialized one may be useful to soldiers but would be less effective in mapping competencies to civilian college courses normally associated with their specialty. (Example: A college degree named for a military specialty and containing courses that are unique to it.) continued 92A/Y Coastline CC AA-Distribution Operations Mgmt Emphasis Updated November

22 continued 2. BROADER GENERAL DEGREE CHOICES A number of colleges offer flexible degrees that combine military credit and general education to form flexible, efficient-for-soldiers degrees. If it is not important that the soldier s degree closely resemble a civilian one in the occupational specialty (i.e., be comprised of major-area courses normally associated with the field), such a program might be appropriate. Many General Studies network curriculums found in the SOC Degree Network System-2 fit this model. Examples of Internet accessible distance learning programs of this kind can be found at: and others (refer to the SOC Degree Network System-2 Handbook, Locations by Network). 3. WILL YOU CONTINUE FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE? Some s have bachelor's degree plans you can pursue directly without an interim associate degree. With this approach you have no transfer concerns, but if you stop short of completion you have no interim degree. An associate degree's title (e.g., AA, AS, AAS, etc.) alone will not ensure successful transfer to a bachelor's degree program. It depends more on the correct matching of the 2- and 4-year programs' course content. Read the Degree Objective statement on the degree plan carefully. If questions remain, raise them with the bachelor's degree program to which you intend to transfer. It is important to select the right courses based on considerations like: Are they intended to transfer? Do they have a place in your bachelor's degree curriculum? Must they be taken in the upper division (junior or senior year) of a bachelor's degree institution? 92A/Y Coastline CC AA-Distribution Operations Mgmt Emphasis Updated November
