You are expected to work towards a master’s degree in the Air Force in order to advance beyond captain,” he said. There are several distance learning options out there but few offer the benefits UNL provides. I chose the online MBA program at Nebraska, because I wanted a master’s degree that would have value on the outside beyond my military career.”

The UNL MBA program is open to all branches of the military, as well as veterans. CBA accepts the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) testing and offers flexibility for deployment. Veterans and active duty military personnel also receive a 15 percent tuition discount for the online MBA eight-week courses.
