Air University Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU-ABC) program
As a member of the United States Air Force or Space Force and by completing your Associate of Applied Science degree through the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), you can continue your education and earn your bachelor’s degree through NAU’s partnership with the Air University Associate to Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU-ABC) program. The AU-ABC program is designed to transfer credit hours earned from your CCAF degree and apply those credits toward completing a Bachelor of Applied Science. You could be up to sixty credits away from completing an undergraduate degree.
NAU is an accredited, nationally recognized, military-friendly university that offers Department of Defense (DoD) tuition assistance rates for eligible approved service members. AU-ABC partnership degrees are fully online so you can earn your degree no matter where you are assigned.

NAU continues to explore and evaluate new AU-ABC degree opportunities. If you have completed your CCAF degree and NAU has not yet evaluated your specific degree, contact us so we can fully explore all transfer credit possibilities for your specific CCAF degree.
