So to make a long story short I am currently deployed with the 82nd airborne in Afghanistan and am thinking about trying to get into the green to gold non-scholarship program when I return to garrison in March as I am currently working on my Associates of Applied Science in Information Technology from Purdue Global and am on track to graduate in March. After some research I found that Campbell University about 30 minutes away from FT Bragg offers a Bachelors of Applied Science in Information Technology program which is offered fully online. Theoretically If accepted into the program I might be able to take all my core classes online and take ROTC at the main campus as an elective which would be the best case scenario as I am a resident of North Carolina and only live about an hour from the university. I sent an email to the FT Bragg Green to Gold Adviser who told me I would most likely be eligible for the summer of 2020 semester. So in summary my main questions are:
1. Is it possible to commission with a Bachelors of Applied Science at all being that its a more technical degree.
2. Is it possible to take online classes in addition to ROTC?
3. To anyone who is familiar with the non-scholarship option and the simultaneous membership program how much of the tuition cost do guard benefits actually cover?
4. How to I actually initiate the process and when should I actually apply to the university?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I would think that if it’s an accredited degree and ROTC accepts you, that you’d be good to go. Especially since the services are trying to ramp up in the IT Cybersecurity area. That ROTC department should give you the straight scoop, since they would be responsible for your commissioning.

Campbell has a G2G recruiter at Bragg Ed center who can walk you through all your questions in person. Send him an email, he's very helpful, and is himself a retired officer who commissioned through G2G.

As long as the degree is accredited, you can go green to gold with a basket weaving degree. Any questions about ROTC should be directed to the respective campus ROTC department. Lastly, GOARMY.com has a lot of information about Green to Gold.
