Education: DANTES



The Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support provides service members with educational opportunities outside the classroom. DANTES services are available at nearly all education centers on base. Most are free and available to active-duty and reserve personnel and their adult family members. Services include:

• College Credit for Skills. Service members can earn college credit for knowledge and skills they already have. The American Council on Education evaluates military training and job experience and publishes course descriptions and college credit recommendations.

• Distance learning courses. DANTES has agreements with about 150 institutions to support service member enrollment in distance learning programs. DANTES Independent Study and External Degree catalogs, available in base education offices, contain program descriptions.

• General Educational Development. The GED test leads to a high school equivalency certificate. All services pay the full cost to obtain a high school certificate for their active-duty members.
