Boise State University is expanding its partnership with the United States Air Force through Air University's Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative program.

Airmen who have completed an associate’s degree through the Community College of the Air Force now can seamlessly transition to a bachelor’s degree program with Boise State. Community College of the Air Force serves approximately 270,000 active duty, guard and reserve students, making it the world’s largest community college system.

The online Boise State University Bachelor of Applied Science Program is the first Boise State degree to be certified by the baccalaureate cooperative. This degree already is a popular choice for many military students because of its program design and online delivery method.

“Joining the Air Force, my number one goal was to finish school. A bachelor’s degree in today’s Air Force is essentially a must-have for promotion but it also shows my intent to grow and become a better leader,” said Sgt. Mullins, an airman stationed in Texas who heard about Boise State’s involvement with Air University’s Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative. “I am a full-time, active duty Air Force member, a full-time husband and a full-time dad. Online education at a great school like Boise State is the perfect setup for my situation.”
