1) An "X" in a column indicates that the Institution guarantees to accept credit from the source shown for at least part of the requirement.
2) This column indicates whether a school accepts transfer credit for courses taken through distance learning. It does not mean that the school offers the course through
distance
learning.
3)
2.0 GPA
or higher for graduation
4) Minimum of 30 semester hours must be 300 or 400 level courses.
5) Minimum of 3 semester hours must be taken in the major through Liberty University.
6) ENGL 100 is a required prerequisite for ENGL 101; MATH 100 is a required prerequisite for MATH 110; MATH 110 is a required prerequisite for MATH 115.
7) ENGL 100, MATH 100 and MATH 110 require a grade of "C" or higher. These required prerequisites can be met by taking the courses through Liberty, transferring
credit or with passing scores on the Math and English Assessment tests.
8) INFT 110 is the prerequisite for BUSI 201 and may not be required if met with transfer credit from another school.
Based on current versions of Army training, Liberty University will award credit based on two training pathways: 1) 38 SH if a Soldier has completed Combat Basic
Training and NCO Leadership Schools including US Army Sergeants Major (resident course) (AR-1408-0148), OR 2) 32 SH if a Soldier has completed Combat Basic
Training and NCO Leadership Schools including US Army Sergeants Major Non-Resident Course (AR-1408-0328). NCO Leadership Schools include Warrior Leader,
Battle Staff, BNCOC Common Core, First Sergeant, and either US Army Sergeants Major (resident course) (AR-1408-0148) or US Army Sergeants Major Non-Resident
Course (AR-1408-0328). Actual credit awarded is based on a review of the Soldier's AARTS transcript. Contact college POC for more information.
As a college with a Career NCO Degree, Liberty University will contact a Soldier selecting the degree and Liberty University as his or her home college as soon as
GoArmyEd notifies the college. The college will discuss how credits from military schools will apply to the degree chosen by the Soldier and will advise the Soldier about
which courses to take. Once the college has received a Soldier's AARTS transcript and related educational information, the college will conduct a formal assessment of
the Soldier's prior learning and will complete a SOCAD Student Agreement in accordance with SOCAD policies and GoArmyEd portal requirements. This official college
degree plan will become part of the Soldier's GoArmyEd file.
9) Submit Graduation Application at the beginning of the final semester.
10) INFT 101 cannot be transferred from another school and should be taken in the first semester of classes.
11) Grades of "C" or higher in upper-level courses in major.
