Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Community College Of The Air Force • Dover, DE
Studying Aerospace Systems (completion in 2003)
• 9/24/2011
"I was very satisfied with the school, particularly how flexible the school was to work with my schedule. I don't think I could have made it if they were not willing to work with my work schedule."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend anyone in the Air Force attend the Community College of the Air Force and pursue at least their associate's degree before separating from the military. Overall, it was a positive experience and they are very flexible. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | I would rate it as average. The degree program I chose was specific to aerospace maintenance, which is really useful for one work field: The airline industry. |
| Program Quality | 7 | Community College of the Air Force is a fantastic school to attend and was very flexible with one's work schedule while on active duty. In addition, it was a great help that prior military training completed was eligible to earn college credits towards my degree. |
| Instruction | 7 | Quality of education received was really good, as the Community College of the Air Force works with local private and state colleges to offer courses. The exposure to various professors at differing levels was invaluable. |
| How Difficult | 6 | The associate's degree I completed required mainly general education courses, which were basic/average difficulty. Some focused courses were taken, which were more difficult; however, I would add that the level of difficulty is directly related to the quality of the teacher. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Seemed most courses were driven by materials presented in books, rather than actual hands-on experience. Would like to have seen more hands on. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | Courses and teachers were very flexible with schoolwork. Oftentimes, work required us to stay after the "end of day," which may cause absence in school attendance. Teachers and school were very accommodating and understanding. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | Community College of the Air Force leverages local schools' libraries, and in some cases, facilities. While there were classrooms held on the base itself, they were in average condition. Courses attended at local college campuses were much better. |
| Social Life | 5 | Seemed like everyone was attending for the same purpose, which was to complete their degrees. Social interactions were limited, as courses were attended at nighttime. |
| Placement Services | 5 | Community College of the Air Force did not have a comprehensive job placement program. However, information was provided on the general Air Force transition assistance program (TAP), which was very good. |
| Alumni Network | 3 | Community College of the Air Force does not really have an alumni. Alumni programs are offered through local colleges that work with CCAF, but are more geared towards full-time students of those colleges and not those attending via CCAF. |
