Is it possible to attain college credit for military service?
Veterans who are matriculating students may earn up to 18 credits in United States Armed Forces Institute courses, in which they have passed final exams, and for other military education and training. The decision regarding the granting of credit for these courses resides with the individual’s college degree programs. Students proposing unique or interdisciplinary majors through CUNY’s individualized degree program, CUNY Baccalaureate, may be eligible to receive up to 30 credits for documented military coursework or training.

The Office of Veterans Affairs at York College serves as a liaison between the student and Regional Offices in Buffalo and New York City.
