Nuclear Associates Degree

[MrBossmanJr]

Navy COOL is no longer an option at 6 months before separating. However, TA is still an option. I used my TA to get my Excelsior College associates degree for free. I did it while on separation leave (I had 3 months saved). Push him to try to knock out classes using TA at no cost. It doesn't affect his GI Bill benefits. Personally, I think he should shoot for the Excelsior College Bachelor’s in Nuclear Engineering Technology or the TESU nuclear bachelor's degree. They both provide good value and offer the maximum number of credits for Navy Nukes. Use that GI Bill for master programs.

One worry is that PELL grant will stop payments once he has a bachelor's degree, if he tries for that money to do another bachelor's degree. It's his choice though. If he wants to do a B&M, let him. Also, note that engineering technology is different than an engineering degree.
