Fort Bragg Office

Welcome

With several Veteran staff and faculty members, there is no private, liberal arts, top-tier university in the U.S. more connected and understanding of the wants and needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.

Methodist University offers affordable, in-person and 100% online degrees to active duty service members and veterans, their spouses, and their children. Our generous transfer credit policy for military education and training, a suite of career-focused programs, and a dedication to flexibility make it easy to get started and stay committed to earning your degree, even if you get deployed.

About Us

The Fort Bragg office’s primary role is to support active duty service members in achieving their educational, personal, and professional goals. The Fort Bragg office is located at the Bragg Training and Education Center (BTEC), B Wing, Room 103, 4520 Knox Street, Fort Bragg, NC. The Fort Bragg office oversees university military and workforce training programs and manages the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance programs for active duty service members. The Methodist University Military Programs also oversees the My Career Advancement Account Scholarship (MyCAA) program for eligible spouses and Army Credentialing Assistance Program (CA) for active duty Soldiers to earn a variety of national-industry certifications. Service members using TA and CA and spouses using the MyCAA program should contact the Fort Bragg office to learn more about programs and to get started. The Fort Bragg office staff supports admissions, academic support, student services, and academic & career advising for military connected students.

Announcements

ArmyIgnitED

In late August 2022, the Army launched its upgraded ArmyIgnitED Portal making it a more dependable, smoothly functioning system, and a better experience for soldiers. The Fort Bragg office staff is working closely with Army counselors at the BTEC to resolve Historic Tuition Assistance Requests (HTARS), missing grades, duplicate course, and several issues associated with the migration from ArmyIgnited 1.0 to ArmyIgnitED Upgraded. We ask soldiers to be patient and know we are working quickly and hard to resolve outstanding issues so that they do not negatively impact your ability to attend courses or delay your education goal.

The first step to beginning your education journey is to stop by the BTEC and speak with an Army counselor. They will assist you in identifying your education goal, opportunities, as well as assist you in establishing your ArmyIgnitED account. The BTEC hosts an ArmyIgnitED Lab on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week to assist soldiers with account issues.

To request Tuition Assistance, Soldiers must first create an account by visiting the upgraded ArmyIgnitED website, www.armyignited.army.mil, and click on “Login.” This will register your CAC to ArmyIgnitED. Second, soldiers must create an Education Goal (major) in ArmyIgnitED and get it approved by an Army education counselor before they can request TA. Lastly, soldiers must upload their Evaluated Degree Plan (EDP) to the portal. The Fort Bragg office staff will prepare EDPs and will forward plans to soldiers. Although uploading the EDP is a requirement, the Army has relaxed this rule for now to allow time for Academic Institutions to prepare plans. However, we suggest soldiers submit all required official transcripts to include your Joint Service or Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcripts as soon as possible so that we can complete you transfer credit evaluation. Once this evaluation is completed, we can prepare EDPs as needed. Transfer credits are awarded for military education and training.

Attached is a Soldier Tip Sheet: Upgraded ArmyIgnitED System for your use/information.

Reminder! The Army is migrating FY21 and FY22 data to the upgraded portal and once completed, more information will follow concerning outstanding tuition assistance issues such as missing grades, outstanding TA payments, Historical TA requests, etc.
