easy graduate classes?

Jennifer's right. There are not many options out there for earning RA graduate level credit other than taking RA courses, and it would also be particularly useful to know which programs would even accept any non-RA credits at that level.

I have a degree plan, and school and accepted. Again I just need 2 electives that are ACE accredited.

Most of the CFP classes are ACE recommended for graduate level credit if taken through the College for Financial Planning.
You can either self-study or, very often, community colleges offer CE classes designed to help you pass the examinations.

Villanova University has some graduate level courses and certifications that are ACE recommended at the graduate level. In the National Guide, search Bisk Education (University Alliance). For example, their Six Sigma Black Belt has this recommendation:

In the upper division baccalaureate degree category, 6 semester hours; or in the graduate degree category, 3 semester hours in Project Management, Quality Management or Business Administration (10/04)

Not sure if Six Sigma interests you, but GI Bill covers it and it's an ASI for Army personnel.

I'm going for Military history and planetary science at AMU.
I'm going to use military TA so out of pocket cost is at 225$ per class.
I would like to know way to get out of the extra 225$, because Ta is capped at 250 per credit hr, and amu is at 325 per credit hour.

I doubt you will have much luck finding anything in those fields ACE approved. ACE is usually for more main-streamed courses. Honestly, I would be thrilled to only pay $225 per class for grad school! You may be better served in finding creative ways to save up the money for the classes so it isn't a hardship instead of looking for some elusive exams. I wish my husband had been able to use his GI bill money, but the Govt. got to keep it all. Be thankful you have help paying for your classes, most of us can only dream of being so lucky! Good luck!

Don't think there's really any logical way to get out of paying the amount over the tuition cap. This is just my opinion, but schools realize when their programs are a somewhat of a bargain in comparison, and they know that we can "top-up" with the GI Bill. I guess they figure that if we want it bad enough. That's one of the main reasons behind the notion of cutting TA down. There is a desire for more pressure to be placed on the schools that linger around and above the semester hour cap.

Liberty U is only $250 per semester credit for active duty and veterans. If cost is the overriding factor, go with them, but if those AMU programs (and AMU offers a lot of interesting ones) are a must, suck it up and come up with the extra dollars.

The price is fine, but I'm living on the gi bill and national guard drill, so 1200$ can only be pulled so thin. I will be able to afford it in sept once ROTC starts back up but the class starts in AUG and any little money I can save is a good thing. If there's ways to persue my education for free I'm going to take it. I would use the gi bill for AMU however I need it to fund WMU graduate classes so I can get BAH from sep-dec plus ROTC requires cadets to be a full time student to be commissoned. It sounds like a lot of work but when it comes to school I kind of have add, I try and knockout online classes the first month, so I can concentrate on the face 2 face classes.

First class at AMU I'm taking is spst 630 space studies of the planets and solar system.
Read through the course requirements, and to my surpise they use the same online program I used for an astronomy class my freshman year. So I have a good feeling with being able to complete it easily.

I wish I knew that a person can use the mgbill before taping into the post 911, I might have been able to get both degrees fully paid for. However they don't allow to go from. P9/11 to mgibill.
Overall goal is a masters in space study witch C/planetary science
Masters in history or military history
BA in criminology
And a teaching cert.
