Good Luck!

yes. two ways: anyone with 90 Credits can enter( IF SELECTED) but they must FINISH THEIR DEGREE by the time they make O3. This is pretty much limited to the Army RESERVES.



Or you can qualify for the WOFT.. become a Helicpoter pilot and warrant officer straight out of high school/no degree required.

A civilian must have a BS/BA degree to be commissioned on active duty or the reserves.

Active duty members, reservist or national guardsmen can apply for OCS with 90 semester hours of college credit that apply towards a specific degree.

Then after commissioning, they have one year to complete thier degree

Which is why no one with just 90 semester hours ever gets approved, since it would be impossible to complete the last year of college in one year, while going to your Branch course, etc.

You can be commissioned in the National Guard, without having a 4 year degree.

The States can make up thier own rules, on educational standards for commissioned officers.

Yes, you may be eligible to commission if you have over 90 credit hours, but you have a very limited time to complete your degree or you will lose your commission. You need to talk to an Army recruiter, Guard recruiter, and ROTC recruiter to determine which career path is best for you.

There are programs where you can earn your commission before you earn your degree; but you can't just walk into a recruiting station and get commissioned without one.

It would be extremely unusual, if not unheard of. It happened in the past but no longer.
