STEPS FOR APPLYING MILITARY-RELATED LEARNING EXPERIENCES
1.
In the first column of the preceding table, check each learning experience that can be validated for the soldier.
Choose only the highest level MOS attained. If there are relevant experiences not listed above, bring them to
the attention of the college evaluator.
Continued
25C/L/Q
CTC-AAS in Applied Tech-Radio, Cable & Multi Transmission 2-5-07 Updated September 2012 19
2.
3.
Review the individual letter-coded requirement pages and devise a preliminary strategy for applying the credits.
A. Work form the most specific to the more general requirements (i.e., first, specific requirements; next,
specific categories of electives; last, free electives).
B. Work from completely satisfied requirements to partially-met requirements (i.e., unless there is a
satisfactory way to make up for the shortfall in credit, the requirement might not be met by the particular
experience. See university policy on the letter-coded requirement page.).
C. Check for possible duplication by considering whether two or more credit recommendations are based on
the same learning experience (e.g., was a skill credited for the MOST also granted for AIT in an instance
where that MOS skill was fully learned in AIT? It is possible for a skill to be properly credited from two
sources is the learning acquired in each setting is sufficiently different, but caution is needed to avoid
duplication.).
Track the credits consumed in the table above, noting the requirement letter code and the semester hours.

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. SOCAD
The letter-number combinations shown represent categories of comparable courses in the
SOCAD 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 www.soc.aascu.org/.
4. ARMY MOS
If the requirement lists credit for your MOS, work with the college evaluator preparing your
SOCAD 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 www.militaryguides.acenet.edu/ if
you want to examine recommendations in detail.
5. ARMY SCHOOL
If the requirement lists credit for a military school you have attended, work with the college
evaluator preparing your SOCAD 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
www.militaryguides.acenet.edu/ 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 SOCAD 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
https://www.cool.army.mil, www.acenet.edu/calec/corporate, and www.dantes.doded.mil.
7. TESTS
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 www.dantes.doded.mil.
8. DISTANCE LEARNING
If the requirement shows that distance learning courses are available, contact the college
regarding its courses or examine DANTES Independent Study Catalog listings at
www.dantes.doded.mil.

APPENDIX IV
SELECTING THE RIGHT DEGREE
1. SELECTING THE RIGHT SOCAD ARMY CAREER DEGREE PLAN
There are three kinds of degree plans:
(1) SOCAD Army Career Degree: Typical civilian degrees that match the specialty skills
of an MOS,
(2) SOCAD Army Degree – General: Typical civilian degrees with more general content,
and
(3) SOCAD Army Degree – Specialized: Degrees especially crafted to accommodate the
uniquely military or otherwise not-easily-matched-to-civilian-courses skills of an MOS.
SOCAD ARMY CAREER DEGREE PLAN
The SOCAD Army Career Degree is based on college degrees that uniquely relate to an
MOS'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.)
SOCAD ARMY CAREER DEGREE PLAN - GENERAL
The SOCAD Army Career Degree – General is based on college 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
MOS's special competencies. Possibly useful to soldiers, but less effective in mapping MOS
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 MOS's special competencies (Example: A computer
specialist matched to a degree in Management or General Studies rather than computer
studies).
SOCAD ARMY CAREER DEGREE PLAN - SPECIALIZED
The SOCAD 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 MOS 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.)

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: www.excelsior.edu, www.tesc.edu, www.umuc.edu,
www.ctcd.edu, and others (refer to the SOC Degree Network System-2 Handbook,
www.soc.aascu.org, Locations by Network).
3. WILL YOU CONTINUE FOR A BACHELOR'S DEGREE?
Some MOSs 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?
