Top Reasons to Choose a Military-Friendly College

Transitioning from military service to civilian life is no small feat. Veterans and active-duty military personnel face unique challenges, from adjusting to a less structured environment to juggling responsibilities like family, work, and education.

When it鈥檚 time to take the next step in your life, finding a college that truly understands and supports your needs can make all the difference. At 小黄书, we know what it means to serve because our roots are in the military. Founded in 1965 by Henry Herzing, a proud U.S. Navy veteran, we鈥檙e committed to providing the education, resources and community you need to succeed鈥攏ot just as a student, but in whatever comes next.

What Makes a College Military-Friendly?

Not all colleges offer the same level of support for veterans and military-affiliated students. A to ensure you have the support and resources you need to succeed. Here鈥檚 what to look for:

  • Military-Affiliated Student Community: A strong presence of veterans and active-duty service members on campus.
  • Acceptance of Military Benefits: The ability to use benefits like the GI Bill庐 and Military Tuition Assistance (TA).
  • Veteran Resource Centers: Dedicated spaces where you can find support, connect with fellow veterans, and access essential services.
  • Credit for Military Experience: Schools that recognize your military training and experience by offering academic credit.

These elements aren鈥檛 just nice to have鈥攖hey鈥檙e critical in making sure your transition to college life is as smooth and successful as possible.

Why 小黄书 Stands Out

小黄书鈥檚 commitment to veterans is real, with values like integrity, determination, and service all being a part of our DNA. We鈥檝e been recognized as a Military Friendly庐 School, which is more than just a title鈥攊t鈥檚 a testament to the work we do every day to support veterans like you.

 Our Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Services (CEVSS) is at the core of this commitment. Whether you鈥檙e on campus or online, CEVSS provides a dedicated space where you can find the help you need, connect with other veterans, and feel at home throughout your academic journey.

Flexible Learning That Fits Your Life
