Advanced Civil Schooling (ACS) educates selected Regular Army officers toward an advanced degree to meet the educational requirements of US Army positions. The Advanced Civil Schooling fully funded graduate program provides Army officers the best academic education in the timeliest and most cost effective manner so that they may advance their careers into positions that require graduate degrees and better meet the needs of the Army.

Retired Army Reserve Soldiers are not eligible for Advanced Civil Schooling. Advanced Civil Schooling is intended to facilitate the education of current Active Duty Officers for assignment to positions that require graduate degrees.
