In 1987, in concert with the Army National Guard Education Service Office, Faulkner University began offering college courses at selected National Guard armories. To date, Faulkner University has afforded educational opportunities at over 65 Army and Air National Guard facilities. We currently offer academic programs at several sites throughout the state. Classes are planned to coordinate with unit schedules and working hours of guardsmen. Smaller classes, with peers in familiar locations and personal attention from faculty, afford students good potential for academic success. Site visits, academic counseling, and access to a service-oriented staff through a toll-free number maximizes the student's time and effort. As a member of SOC (Servicemembers Opportunity College), Faulkner awards academic credit from military training and occupational specialties. Additional credit through CLEP (College Level Examination Program) and DANTES (Defense Activity for Non Traditional Education Support) is available.
