The addition of the student admissions office aligns the application process with that of other civilian schools,\u00a0Anderson said.<\/p>\n<p>The degree program is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.<\/p>\n<p>For full eligibility requirements and information on the application process, visit the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airuniversity.af.edu\/Eaker-Center\/CLDS\/CADP\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Civilian Leadership Development School<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><strong> <\/strong>website.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
