Military experience & college credits in Texas?

Hello everyone. Are there any Texas colleges that are particularly good about giving college credit for military experience? I've heard some places might be better for this than others, especially in Texas. Can anyone recommend any?

Absolutely, there are a number of colleges in Texas that recognize the significance of military experience and offer college credits for it. The exact amount of credit you earn for your military experience can vary greatly from one institution to another, but here are a few Texas colleges well-known for their military-friendly practices:

1. Texas A&M University: This university offers credit for military training and experience as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). They also have a strong Veteran Services department that supports veterans in their transition to a college environment.

2. University of Texas at Austin: UT Austin offers credit for military training and experience as recommended by ACE. The Veteran's Service Office at the university provides resources and support for student veterans.

3. University of Houston: This university provides resources through their Veteran Services Office to help veterans apply their military training and experience towards their degree.

These colleges use the ACE (American Council on Education) recommendations as a guide to determine how many credits to award for your specific military experience. You can typically request your Joint Service Transcript (JST) which lists your military experiences and courses along with corresponding ACE credit recommendations.

Always remember to reach out to a school's Veteran Services department or the registrar's office to determine their policy for awarding credit for military experience. They can walk you through the steps to translate your military training and experience to college credits at their institution.
