DAU and University of Phoenix Online form strategic partnership

Program Manager, May-June, 2002 by Lisa Johnson

On Dec. 11, 2001, the Presidents of both the Defense Acquisition University and the University of Phoenix formally signed an articulation agreement. This agreement to partnership is designed to facilitate the transfer of American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations or other credit bearing transcripted courses earned by the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics workforce into a Bachelor of Science in Management degree program at the University of Phoenix Online.

Students may chose from one of four tracks as the emphasis for the degree program: Information Systems Acquisition, Financial Management/Cost Estimating, Contract Management, or an interdisciplinary focus in Acquisition Management.

DAU students may apply up to 30 hours of DAU course work toward the 120-semester-hour requirement. Of the remaining 90 semester hours, the student must take 30 hours from the University of Phoenix, either online or at a campus site, and 60 hours can be taken at the University of Phoenix or other accredited institutions.
