Military Pathways
A military pathway is a route to a degree that could save time, money, and effort without compromising academic rigor.
Our pathways incorporate credit that may be earned outside the classroom through examinations, experience, and/or training with requirements that must be satisfied either at ODU or another regionally accredited school.
By using a military pathway, a student could start at ODU with a significant amount of credit without ever previously attending college.
