As indicated in a recent story published by Columbus CEO, building 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.

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.
