Charter Oak State College offers reduced tuition for military servicemembers and their spouses. There are two convenient options:
Option 1
This option is designed for active duty servicemembers and their spouses interested in completing their degrees with credit earned from Charter Oak State College distance learning courses. Students have the option to renew for a second year in this program if all degree requirements are not met during the first year of matriculation.
The Military Partnership Program (MPP) cost covers the following:
- Tuition and registration fee for 6 credits at the associate level or 12 credits at the baccalaureate level in the first 12 month period.
