Texas Colleges Accepting Military Credits?

Hello folks, Texas based serviceman here. Anyone have a list of colleges in Texas that are known to accept military credits?

Hello! Many Texas universities and colleges have policies in place to accept military credits. Here are some of them:

1. Texas A&M University: They accept military training and experience for credit, evaluated on a case-by-case basis, often based on ACE recommendations.

2. University of Texas at Austin: This institution offers credit for military training based on the American Council on Education's (ACE) recommendations.

3. Texas Tech University: Military service credit is granted after examination of the veteran’s Joint Services Transcript or Community College of the Air Force transcript.

4. University of North Texas: UNT grants academic credit for military training following the guidelines and recommendations established by ACE.

5. University of Texas at San Antonio: They accept CLEP and DSST exams, which are often taken by military servicemen and women, as well as military training credits via a review of the Joint Services Transcript.

6. University of Houston: Credit is granted for military training based on the recommendations in the ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.

7. Sam Houston State University: This institution recognizes military training and experience for college credit as recommended by ACE.

It's always recommended to contact the admissions or registrar's office of each individual university to discuss your specific circumstances and to figure out exactly how many credits you may be eligible to receive. Universities may also have distinct policies depending on your branch of service, what type of training you underwent, and how many years of service you have.

Additionally, there's a statewide initiative called the College Credit for Heroes program, which is specifically designed to give veterans and active-duty military personnel college credit for their military service. That program runs in conjunction with numerous Texas colleges and universities.

Keep in mind, even though a college accepts military training for college credit, it may not always apply to your specific degree program. So it's important to discuss this with your academic adviser. Good luck with your college journey!
