Is an initiative between Air University and civilian higher education institutions, including Amridge University, to offer baccalaureate degree programs via distance learning that are relevant to an individual’s Air Force career field.  The program is designed to transfer CCAF credits so students can obtain a bachelor’s degree with no more than 60 additional semester credits.  Students will be able to go to one centralized web site, the Air Force Virtual Education Center, for their educational needs including approved degree programs offered through the AU-ABC Program.

Amridge University’s degree programs meets the following criteria required of all participating institutions:

• Require no more than 60 semester credits after the CCAF AAS degree for a bachelor's degree
• Deliver instruction via distance learning
• Maximize application of military credit
• Relate degree programs to Air Force specialty
• Meet specific accreditation standards

Why Choose Amridge University?

Amridge University Values America’s Men and Women of the United States Air Forces’ “Above All” Approach to Excellence in Education

Being physically located just across town from Maxwell AFB, we at Amridge University were excited to be apart of the United States Air Force AU-ABC program!   We have enjoyed a growing relationship with our local Air Force students and with those stationed all over the world who have been enrolled in our undergraduate, graduate and doctoral studies.  We have enjoyed our relationship with the Community College of the Air Force for many years.

Now with uniquely designed articulation agreements we look forward to helping airmen and noncommissioned officers rapidly advance through the ranks with degrees that meet the ever-changing needs of the Air Force of the 21^st Century. We also recognize the importance of addressing the educational aspirations of military spouses and have established special tuition rates to help them reach those goals.
