Naval news service : Webster University offers cooperative master's degree to AABC grads at Fort Belvoir

Defense AT&L, Sept-Oct, 2005

The U.S. Army Logistics Management College (ALMC) and Webster University established a cooperative master's degree program to allow U.S. Army Acquisition Basic Course (AABC) graduates to complete a master's degree with Webster University through shared academic credits. The ALMC/Webster University cooperative degree program was developed in accordance with the American Council on Education's Joint Statement on the transfer and award of credit.

Approved cooperative degree programs are:

* Master of Business Administration

* Master of Arts in Computer Resources and Information Management

* Master of Arts in Procurement and Acquisitions Management.

To apply to Webster University, AABC graduates must have completed a bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited institution and must submit an official transcript from the institution at which the degree was conferred. Neither the Graduate Management Admissions Test nor Graduate Record Examination is required for admission. If students have already completed a previous graduate degree, they may be eligible to complete a sequential degree in one of the aforementioned fields.

This opportunity is beneficial to students and to agencies that provide tuition assistance because they may save up to $3,850 for course credits earned through AABC. Students can learn more about this cooperative agreement by contacting Webster University at (703) 781-7942 or belvoir@webster.edu. Webster University at Fort Belvoir is located in Room 143 of the Barden Education Center. The Webster University Web site is <http://www.webster.edu/belvoir>.
