Who is Eligible

CHS Tier-1 Diploma Pathway

Earn a U.S. Military-Recognized High School Diploma

Our 18- and 24-credit diploma programs are rated Tier 1 by the U.S. Military—fully eligible for enlistment and recognized nationwide.

Why settle for Tier-2?

A Tier-1 diploma opens more enlistment options and waives the higher ASVAB score required for GED holders.

A CHS diploma removes that barrier and expands your MOS options.

Make your enlistment easier—and more rewarding.

Find out why upgrading from a GED to a Tier-1 diploma could be the smartest move you make before enlisting.
