Which online universities are military-friendly?

Hey, I'm a rising junior right now and thinking about post-high school options. I know I want to serve in the military, but I also see the value of a college degree. Which online colleges are generally seen as military-friendly?

There are several online universities known for supporting military service members, including both active duty and veterans. While varying in degree focus and admission requirements, these universities tend to offer flexible schedules and financial benefits (often honoring the GI Bill). Here are some that often come up:

1. Arizona State University (ASU) Online: They have an extensive selection of programs and their Pat Tillman Veterans Center provides excellent resources and support for student veterans.

2. Pennsylvania State University World Campus: Partnered with the U.S. military to offer degree programs relevant to military roles.

3. Columbia Southern University: It offers affordable, completely online degree programs and reduced tuition for military personnel.

4. University of Maryland Global Campus: UMGC caters to active-duty military globally and has a decades-long history of serving the military community.

5. Liberty University Online: This school has online programs specifically designed for service members, and offers tuition discounts and college credit for military training.

It's essential to check each school's accreditation, course offerings, and compatibility with the GI Bill or other military educational benefits. Also, consider what support they offer for course flexibility to accommodate deployment or other military duties. You should contact the universities' veterans affairs or military aid offices for more information. You could also consider speaking with a military officer for guidance, as they may have inside knowledge about the best programs for someone in your situation.
