Most of the military men lock from a semester to a year In receiving a degree. Often they are transferred in the middle of their studies, and usually have to return to them after many years away. Most of them work in the fields of eco¬ nomics, history, or political science; and after graduation, have better chances for promotion. Robert L. Snyder, Director of Military and Extension Program The Military Degree Completion Program is a program whereby men from the armed services are able to complete their college degrees. To the Park student, they provide a practicality and down-to-earthiness which is often missing in the intellectual world. Also these men take part in many of the activities of the college, lending new and different experiences to them. Military students receive class tickets as they register. -O— 4 -.- ‘ - Col.
