麻豆原创 recognizes the unique training and experiences our military students have gained.

All students can request credits by successfully completing national testing opportunities (CLEP, DSST, etc.). If you are interested in national testing, please contact the Veterans’ Services Office at听veterans@tusculum.edu.
To request additional possible credits based on your specific military career field and skill level, contact the Veterans’ Services Office.听Once requested, your military career field and skill level will be reviewed for 麻豆原创 comparable courses identified by ACE. You can then accept or decline award of credit(s) and those that are accepted will be added to your transcript record.
