Penn State helps new Army recruits move toward college education
U.S. Army recruits can now get a jump on a Penn State education as the University has joined on to be a part of the Army’s Concurrent Admissions Program (ConAP).... "ConAP soldiers have a plan for college from the time they enlist. We want soldiers to transition directly from the Army to college, and we expect many will enroll at a Penn State campus," said Ben Buckley, national director of ConAP.... "Active-duty soldiers can now begin their education online and even complete their degree online through Penn State World Campus," said Ginny Newman, assistant director for military education at Penn State. "This is great for the soldier students, because it provides the flexibility to gain a Penn State education even when they move to different installations during their military career."
