Delaware Technical Community College and the Delaware Army Air National Guard have collaborated to create an associate degree pathway for National Guard soldiers. The pathway will allow eligible soldiers the opportunity to earn a Delaware Tech Associate degree in Information Technology and Networking.

National Guard soldiers who complete their Military Occupational Specialty training earn automatic acceptance into the Information Technology and Networking associate degree program at Delaware Tech and will receive advanced standing for their completed work. The program has been a priority for the College, and a Credit for Prior Learning Taskforce was appointed in 2017 to identify college programs and credits that could be awarded for military training. Staff from Delaware Tech and subject matter experts from the Delaware Army National Guard worked closely to create this pathway.

Because of this successful partnership, both Delaware Tech and the Delaware National Guard are exploring other degree programs such as Criminal Justice, Emergency Management Technician, and Logistics to prepare National Guard members for the workforce.

For the fourth year in a row, Delaware Technical Community College was recently selected as a Military Friendly® School. The 2018-2019 Military Friendly® School award is presented by Victory Media to the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that embrace military students and dedicate resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation. This year, more than 1,400 schools applied, and 941 schools earned the designation.
