Turner College's MSOL Program Now Available to All U.S. Army Captains

As indicated in a recent story published by Columbus CEObuilding on its longstanding partnership with the U.S. Army’s Maneuver Captains Career Course, the Turner College's MSOL program is now available to graduates of all of the U.S. Army’s active-duty Captains Career Courses. As the story indicates, since 2012, soldiers participating in the Fort Moore-based Maneuver Captains Career Course have received pre-approved academic transfer credit toward the Turner College's master’s degree in organizational leadership. Today, this opportunity is now expanded to every soldier graduating from any of the Army’s Captains Career Courses. “All of our Army captains can be halfway to a master’s degree when they graduate from their CCC, and they can complete the degree online in their following assignment,” explained Maj. Gen. (ret.) Pat Donahoe, the recently retired Maneuver Center of Excellence commanding general who now serves as a special assistant to CSU’s president on military-related matters. “And now there's no excuse for any captain in the country completing one of these Captains Career Courses not to pursue his or her master’s degree.” Graduates of any of the U.S. Army’s active-duty Captains Career Courses across the country are eligible to enroll in the now-fully online Turner College degree program, which provides Captains Career Course graduates with flexible enrollment options. With the transfer credit they receive after graduating from their respective program, CCC graduates are only 21 credit hours — seven graduate-level courses — away from earning a master’s degree in organizational leadership.
