The Army, nor any other branch of serive, has their own college, unless you are talking in this area something like West Top or something like that. The Army does have a prefered list though of which colleges to attend. But, when you get to your duty station, there is a education center that usually has a few college reps there that can get you complex with online schooling (i.e. Univesity of Phoenix, Auburn Univesity). Just like the Army, or any branch of service, they do have programs in which they will pay for college while you are in the service, without having to tap into your G.I. bill. It just depends on what you qualify for during your enlistment process. If/when you join up, your liason will be able to go over everything that you are getting, a propos job, sign on bonus (if any) and the amount of your G.I. Bill.

You’ll have to speak to a recruiter. The Army uses the GI Bill which is for a college of your choice. Depending on how much education you want to get (Associates to Masters degrees) the GI Bill can potentially pay for your entire college education. You can also accept a higher sign on bonus instead of the higher GI Bill. These are all things that are negotiated in your contract during the enlistment process. Excellent Luck.

She paid 25% of the cost of each course. The Air Force paid the remaining 75%. It took her a small over 6 years to receive her degree.
