SCHOOL OF THE MONTH SPOTLIGHT
Military Affiliated Degree Programs Military and veteran students are welcome to apply for any degree program that ODU Distance Learning offers. However, the Old Dominion military programs below are specifically designed or recommended for these students, with significant credits awarded for military training and experience. In some situations, military students can take courses in these programs via Portable Media (CD-ROM or DVD). Undergraduate
General Engineering Technology - Electromechanical Systems (BSET) Health Sciences - Health Services Administration concentration (BSHS)
Mechanical Engineering Technology - Nuclear Engineering Technology option (BSET) The Military Student Admissions page describes the steps for undergraduate application and lists admission details. Credit for lower level courses can be met through transfer credits, CLEP, and DANTES tests. Navy College students are encouraged to check the Ratings and Roadmaps to see which degrees are best related to their military training and experience. If you have any questions about any of our Old Dominion military programs, please talk to the ODU personnel at your nearest site, or contact Dr. Rob Curry at 1.800.968.2638 or rcurry@odu.edu.
MSW@USC UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA School of Social Work • Virtual Academic Center Admissions • sswvac@usc.edu • 877.700.4MSW • msw.usc.edu
What is the MSW@USC Program?
Is There Coursework Available to Serve the Military?
The MSW@USC is an innovative Master of Social Work program delivered online. The University Of Southern California School Of Social Work is the first among elite research universities to offer a full web-based Master of Social Work degree program. Unlike other online MSW or human services degrees, the MSW@USC is an accredited program offered by a prestigious research university and ranked in the top 10 by U.S. News & World Report. Available nationally through our Virtual Academic Center, the MSW@USC engages students in live, face-to-face classes online with hands-on, supervised traditional field instruction in local communities where they live and work. Lectures are not simply ported from basic presentations, but are delivered live in an interactive classroom environment. Students have the opportunity to see their professors and peers through webcams, take part in online chats and even participate in break-out discussion groups.
Yes, MSW@USC students may choose the Military Social Work and Veteran Services sub-concentration. Many war veterans suffer serious mental health disorders ranging from post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, which can lead to substance abuse, domestic violence, child abuse and suicide. This specialized area of study prepares individuals to provide a full range of human services to the nation‟s armed forces personnel, military veterans and their families, helping them cope with the stresses of military life. Coursework emphasizes the military as a workplace culture, managing trauma and posttraumatic stress, clinical practice with military families, and preventative care and health management in military settings. Students will complete 600 clock hours of an internship in various types of approved settings working with veteran populations. Practicum sites are based on the availability of the agency to accept a student and a field instructor to provide supervision; therefore, no guarantees are extended to students on a specific type of agency that would be arranged. Please note that only students residing on base are candidates for placement on base.
What is the Curriculum Like? The MSW@USC program mirrors the stringent curriculum and academic rigor of the on-campus program delivered by the same regular, full-time faculty who teach onsite. The foundation-year curriculum provides a common base of knowledge, skills and values by introducing theories, issues and practice methods that deal with individuals and their environment. The second half of the curriculum offers advanced training in a concentration area to develop in-depth knowledge and skills in Families and Children; Community Organization, Planning and Administration (COPA); or Mental Health. Students can also select the optional Military Social Work and Veteran Services sub-concentration to supplement coursework.
What Do I Need to Know About Applying? The admissions requirements for the MSW@USC are the same as those for our onsite program. Please refer to our website atmsw.usc.edu for specific admission criteria, application instructions, deadlines and financial aid information. Admissions counselors are available at 877.700.4MSW to walk you through every step of the application process and answer any question you may have.

MyCAA Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts Unofficially referred to as Spouse Tuition Assistance, the Department of Defense recently expanded Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program can provide up to $4,000 (over 2 years) of Financial Assistance for military spouses who are pursuing degree programs, licenses or credentials leading to employment in portable career fields. Here is a summary of the changes:
Be available to spouses of active duty service members in pay grades E1-E5, W1-W2, and O1-O2 including the spouses of activated Guard and Reserve members within those ranks. Spouses of Guard and Reserve members must be able to start and complete their courses while their sponsor is on Title 10 orders. Offer a maximum financial benefit of $4,000 with a fiscal year cap of $2,000. Waivers will be available for spouses pursuing licensure or certification up to the total maximum assistance of $4,000 Require military spouses to finish their program of study within three years from the start date of the first course Be limited to associate degrees, certification and licensures
More Details:
MyCAA does not pay for education and training programs that include computers (CPUs or laptops); application, graduation or membership fees; student activity cards; child care; parking; transport ation; or medical services. If a spouse enrolls in a course without an approved MyCAA Financial Assistance (FA) document, the spouse will be responsible for paying course costs. MyCAA does not provide reimbursements of any kind to spouses for any reason. MyCAA FA payments are made directly to schools using MyCAA’s electronic invoicing system. As A Second Language (ESL) Classes and GED Classes and Testing Programs. Unfortunately, Coast Guard spouses are not covered by the MyCAA Spouse Employment congressional mandate: PL 110-417 Sec 582. Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), not the Department of Defense.
Military spouses can help themselves by:
Visiting www.careeronestop.org to explore Portable Career Fields and find schools that have programs of study leading to licenses, certificates and degrees. Finding their school in the MyCAA website using the School Search function. If the desired school is not listed, follow the directions shown at the end of the School Search. Establishing and managing their MyCAA Account at https://aiportal.acc.af.mil/mycaa, use MyCAA resources to create a Career and Training Plan, and apply for FA.
Thinking About College? Be Ready Before You Enroll In the last few years, far too many veterans have learned the hard way that it takes quite a bit of work to be successful in college. This has been reflected in the national graduation rates and drop-out statistics. Veterans and service members can learn to avoid the pitfalls and college scams by doing some homework before they enroll in school.

Veterans who need refresher courses have nothing to be ashamed of. Think about it this way, how long has it been since you had to do any algebra or geometry homework? Or, write a double spaced 20 page APA styled essay? The point is that jumping into college without being academically ready is a recipe for disaster.

Thanks to the Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) Program you don't have to let your rusty academic skills keep you from getting your degree and pursuing the career of your dreams. The VUB program services include:
Basic skills development to help veterans successfully completes a high school equivalency program and gain admission to college education programs Short-term remedial or refresher classes for high school graduates that have put off pursuing a college education Assistance with applications to the college or university of choice Assistance with applying for financial aid Academic advice and assistance Career Counseling Assistance in getting veterans services from other available resources
The VUB program can help you improve your skills in:
Mathematics
Laboratory Science
Foreign Language
Reading
Literature
Composition
Computer Basics
