There is only one university in the Country that will let you take approved ABET Classes online, while enrolled in a Engineering Degree Program, at any time of the day leading to the full degree in Engineering. That is The University of North Dakota. You can be located any where in the country. You still need to take the class in the semester schedule but they are flexible on test dates and online homework assignments. They will give you about 18 undergraduate credits like you would see listed on the ACE Smart transcript for lower level Engineering and base coursework, no vocational courses. Then you can take most of the Llib ED courses for about $200 per credit. The Engineering courses are another matter, they cost about $480 per credit. But, you can sure get the traditional graded ABET Engineeriong Course work done online. They have admission requirements and GPA requirements to continue to be enrolled. It is a challenge, even for nukes, but it sure met my schedule while I was working a full time job.
Gettting another type of degree from a liberal arts college is a whole different matter. They will give you many more credits from your Navy Smart Transcript. So, it is a matter of understanding where you want to take your education to your next position in life. I know a lot of people who received degrees from Excelsior College online and Thomas Edison State University and it was relatively easy to get credits from NNPS, NFAS and NPTU allowed. Then, only a few courses were required to get a Bachelors degree in science or technology.
I know from my experience though, that all of those Navy ungraded credits on your transcript will cause red flags when trying to transfer them into an ABET college Engineering program and it takes some time to try to get them accepted. I completely recommend completing education over the time one spends in the service and using tuition assistance and the GI bill if available. The cost of college is enormous today and it is difficult to try and pay fo any type of a higher education. Hopefully as time goes on there will be more Online opportunities for College degrees that are more receptive to the Navy Nuclear training Credit Evaluation.
