Turner College MSOL Program Opens Doors to Fort Jackson's U.S. Army Adjutant General School Graduates

In yet another step toward making graduate school more accessible to the nation’s military, graduates of the U.S. Army Adjutant General School at Fort Jackson in South Carolina now qualify for nine hours of master’s-level course credit at CSU. A new agreement between the CSU and the U.S. Army underscores CSU's commitment to supporting military education and providing our nation’s service members with pathways for career advancement. Through this partnership, personnel who successfully complete the Fort Jackson-based Adjutant General Captains Career Course (AGCCC) would need only seven courses to earn an M.S. in organizational leadership with a focus in human resources from the Turner College. "We are honored to collaborate with the U.S. Army Adjutant General School to provide even more educational opportunities for our active-duty military personnel," said retired Maj. Gen. Pat Donahoe, CSU's special assistant to the president for military liaison. "This agreement reflects our shared commitment to promoting higher education and professional development within the military community. It also reflects an intentional effort by Columbus State to respond to the Army’s request to align our academic programs to its human resources and data analytics needs.”

According to key provisions of the academic articulation agreement AGCCC students enrolled in the program will be awarded nine graduate elective credits for successfully completing the AGCCC, provided they hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university and submit a CSU Graduate School application form along with official transcripts reflecting the conferral of that degree. Additionally, current Army active-duty, Army Reserve and Army National Guard students can complete the remaining 21 graduate-level program credits for a reduced tuition rate of $250 per credit hour, not to exceed Tuition Assistance Program rates. "We are excited about the opportunities this partnership will provide for military students to further their education and advance their careers," said Lt. Col. Hans J. Lokodi, director of training at the Adjutant General School at Fort Jackson. “By working together with Columbus State University, we can ensure that our service members have access to high-quality educational programs that align with their military and professional goals.”
