Degree Credits and Certifications

mich313 · 03-20-2014, 09:31 AM

So I already have a BS degree in Psychology, but I'm hopeful to be career Navy and become an officer. A Psych degree isn't very helpful, but a degree in say engineering or chemistry could be much more beneficial for a Nuke Officer position or SWO.

What I'm wondering is between the credits from my first degree (gen eds and such) and the credits I can earn in Charleston, what degrees could I potentially receive? Can I choose or are the credits from Nuke school only good towards a specific degree?

Also, I read somewhere that we can get certifications and such and the Navy will pay for that. Are we reimbursed, does the Navy pay for them up front, is there a lot of red tape involved? Just wanting to get a lay of the land.

Thanks for any/all input!
