Cyber Security Military Training for College Credit

ACE credit Recommendations for Technology related Army Jobs

Cyber and Information Security are subsets of Computer Science. So, students must study more general computer concepts first. They need the basics before specialized Security topics. This means students have to take more general classes. Luckily, many military positions may transfer for general technology college credits as well. After all, your cyber security military training and work are quite technical.

Other Options for Military Service Credit

The Military’s primary mission lies in protection. They fight for our rights. To do that, they educate soldiers. That training serves to create a mighty workforce. These lessons are about building relevant competence, i.e. your cyber security military training. There’s a job to do and the military centers all focus on achieving that goal. It’s not traditional classroom learning. But it sure does get the job done.

Does this kind of education have cognitive engagement equal to a college classroom? It’s debatable. Consider that the military prepares soldiers to solve complex challenges,in this case your cyber security military training. Often, they must do so while under tremendous pressure. They are out in life and death scenarios. Technical tasks, high stakes, and complicated situations engage our brains. That’s for certain. 

What matters most in education isn’t how “deep” learning goes. It’s developing people who can apply what they’ve learned. A teacher wants to see their student achieve results with their lessons. Make it real in the world! Make things happen. That’s the point of education, after all – optimal results. Applying learning isn’t about credit hours. It’s about making a difference in the world, and that’s certainly what your cyber security military training can do!  

When we measure learning this way, military experience carries more weight. Unfortunately, competency-based learning like this doesn’t always transfer into credit hours based off of your cyber security military training. But we can see how it should. Luckily, with the help of ACE, it’s gaining momentum and even some credit hours. As ACE expands their definitions and database, the value of military experience grows.
