First of all, let me jump up to an answer to it, the answer is “No”, that is not true. Any active Army or their spouses are allow take any courses from schools as long as they are regionally and nationally accredited. Click here to learn more about accreditation.

But, there is one thing you need to make sure before enroll any class. Those schools or colleges must agree to take the Army TAs $250.00 per credit hour as the max they will make you pay, meaning you have no out of pocket cost as long as the tuition is $250.00 per credit hour. So lets say UCLA cost $300.00 per credit hour, and Army TA is only going to pay $250.00 per credit then which will be leaving you to cover the other $50.00 per credit hour.

For more information, please ask JAG officers at your bases.
