What do others think about the idea of awarding College credit for attendance at the SM Academy and other NCOES Schools?

I'm retired now but throughout my military career I recall often hearing fellow NCOs question what could be done to help professionalize the NCO Corps. I think one thing that would further this is to award college credit and maybe even two years of college fot those who attend and success fully complete the Sergeant Majors Academy. I know for my self when I did the non resident Course I probably put more time and effort in completing the modules and the school than I did when I was in a civilian graduate school program. I believe Officers are awarded a Graduate degree for completing Command and General Staff. Any thoughts??
