versas Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi, does anyone have any advice on listing military leadership courses in CASPA? For example WLC/PLDC (NCO school), etc. I couldn't find anything relevant by googling it or searching the forum. I know you can add coursework from a military academy but it's not the same thing. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.shannon77 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The only way I know getting them on the CASPA application is if they have been converted to college credit and show up on a transcript (not the AARTS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Under work and volunteer experience, there is a choose called Awards, Honors and leadership. I listed my leadership positions in this section. For example Leading Petty Officer Military Medicine Naval Air Station Kingsville. I also listed every single military award I received here. Also if it applicable to the job you list under HCE I placed as the title. If I listed other HCE I used my leadership title. I also included the number of people I supervised in each job description. If it was direct patient care I listed my clinical title. Independent Duty Corpsman, Nuero-psychiatric technician etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this somewhere before and was hoping there was an additional way. I already requested my final transcript from my undergrad, booo! Oh well lol.

I was wondering if there was a section specifically for the actual leadership courses, it looks like I'll have to get it transferred to my undergrad transcript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegro Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Have you reported your military service as an institution attended? It's considered professional coursework if you did not attend an academy or accredited military school, so no transcript is required. You'd list it as a non-listed U.S. institution, ie. "The U.S. Army." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The U.S. Army." Allegro, You just jogged my memory. This is from an email I received from CASPA on this topic. "In order for your application to be considered complete, you are required to report all colleges/universities attended, even if these credits were earned during military service. You must correct your application by adding the unreported institution as a "NON-LISTED U.S.INSTITUTION" and entering your branch of service as the school's name. You must also enter the corresponding coursework as "PROFESSIONAL." You ARE NOT REQUIRED to have a transcript from AARTS/Department of Defense sent to us, but we will accept this transcript and add it to your application should you choose to do so."
