SEGS Relationship with Defense Acquisition University (DAU)
Transferability of courses between SEGS and DAU e.g., DAU course CON 104 Contract Pricing will transfer into a
SEGS program as MGT 4213 Contract Pricing (a 2 hour upper division undergraduate course)
SEGS graduate courses MGT 5214 Cost Principles, Effectiveness, and Control and MGT 5218 Contract Negotiations and Incentive Contracts together cover the topics in the DAU course CON 104 and can be considered as equivalent for career education purposes
We maintain a Registry of Approved Military Courses (RAMC) for transfer of service school courses into SEGS programs. Currently there are 26 courses on the RAMC
SEGS Relationship with Defense Acquisition University (DAU)
Ongoing revision of the DAU contracting courses (every few years)
Each revision by DAU requires SEGS to reevaluate the transferability of the new DAU courses into SEGS programs
Also after each revision DAU reviews SEGS courses to determine which ones are equivalent to the new DAU courses
