TROY Welcomes Students from the U.S. Air Force
Troy University has been an education partner of the United States Air Force since 1965 and has hosted an Air Force ROTC program on the TROY campus since 1971. In addition to the broad range of TROY degree programs taken by members of the Air Force at undergraduate and graduate levels over the past 54 years, the University is also proud to be a partner in two of the Air Force's specialized education initiatives; the General Education Mobile (GEM) is designed to facilitate completion of the General Education requirements of the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) associate degree program; and, the Air University Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU ABC) was designed to create a seamless pathway from the CCAF associate degree to a bachelor degree in a range of disciplines.
TROY has campuses or regional offices located near several United States Air Force installations including:
We are also proud to have a full-time TROY Admissions team member on Shaw Air Force Base and Tyndall Air Force Base.
Troy offers more than 140 fully online degree programs with flexible start terms.

Transfer Credits
In each of the undergraduate degree options available at TROY, there is scope for the award of transferable college credit based on an evaluation of the Community College of the Air Force - Air University transcript, previous post-secondary work completed and results from CLEP and DANTES Exams. When viewed in its totality, this work can significantly shorten the time frame for reaching bachelor's degree completion.
At the Graduate level, successfully completing Professional Military Education (PME) at the Air War College, Air Command and Staff College and the Joint Services Operations University may lead to the award of transfer credit in selected Master's degree programs.
