| AFJROTC Courses Earn College Credit
Students who complete any JROTC course with a grade of "B"
or higher may apply for college credit from the University of Colorado
at Colorado Springs (UCCS). Each course earns the student two elective
credits with UCCS. Students may transfer these credits from UCCS
to any college or university they attend. This means a student who
completes all five of our core courses can earn ten elective college
credits toward a two or four year degree at the college of their
choice. The current cost at UCCS is $55 per credit hour or $110
per course. Please contact Major Dan Heeter for more information.
