Certificate Programs consist of four, five, or six carefully selected courses, designed to impart a degree of competency and expertise in a defense-relate technical or managerial field. They typically take about a year to complete.

Our DL Master’s Degree Program consists of a set of core courses, and a student-selected specialty track. (Most specialty track courses are also found in DL certificate program curricula, so it is often relatively easy to transfer from a certificate program into a degree program). The degree program also requires a thesis; expected completion time for the entire degree is approximately three years.

Students can also apply credits earned from these programs toward advanced degrees in the future—either at AFIT, or at a participating civilian university located near a military base—making the certificate programs even more valuable for military officers and DoD civilians. AFIT currently has signed agreements with the University of New Mexico and Loyola Marymount University to facilitate this possibility.
