QP Pete--
Thank you for the information!
I'll be bringing the points made in this thread to the attention of an academic or two in the very near future.
A question. Would the G. I. Bill serve the interests of the country better if it had provisions that encouraged academic institutions to review veterans' training and experiences for the purpose of giving credit when appropriate?
FWIW, please note that the issue of credits touches civilians as well. A classmate of mine had a law degree but the University of Texas was unflinching in its insistence that he fulfill all the coursework requirements for his master's degree. More recently, a pal of mine who has changed schools has had some of her previous coursework invalidated.
