Online Associate’s in Health Science for Military Students

5-Course Determination: The 5-course determination is based on the transfer of 65 quarter credit hours toward the 90-credit AAS in Health Science. As of February 2020, of the 149 U.S. military occupation codes evaluated by Purdue Global across Army, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force, 40% had 5 courses remaining to complete the degree. Coursework reduction reflects an educational mapping based on the credit recommended by the Medical Education & Training Campus (METC) for occupation duties. Credit awards will vary based on occupation, skill level, completed military courses as listed on your official Joint Services Transcript(s), and applicable prior learning that can apply toward degree requirements. Purdue Global does not guarantee transferability of credit from any of these sources. All credits must be validated on official transcript(s) to be eligible for transfer.
