The Air Force is partnering with Jones International University under the service-sponsored Air University Associate-to-Baccalaureate Cooperative Program to offer airmen with an associate degree the opportunity to earn a bachelors degree. The university announced June 2 that airmen who hold an associate degree in applied science from the Community College of the Air Force will be able to earn a bachelor of business administration or a bachelor of arts in business communication from JIU, with no more than 60 follow-on credit hours required to complete the four-year degree. “We’re proud to bring top-quality education to airmen through this outstanding Air Force program,” said JIU Chancellor, Glenn Jones.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
