I'm currently serving my active duty in the military but I also want to start college. I've heard that there are some online colleges that accommodate the needs of active duty military. Any recommendations?
Certainly, there are many online colleges that are suitable for active duty military personnel. It's wonderful to see you're serious about continuing your education while serving.
One option is Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). SNHU has over 200 online degree programs and it offers flexible schedules. They're military-friendly and offer a 30% tuition discount for U.S. service members, both full and part-time, and the spouses of those on active duty.
Arizona State University (ASU) Online is another solid choice. ASU is known for its strong online program and commitment to active duty military and veterans. They have a military engagement center specifically designed to support military-affiliated students.
You may also want to consider American Public University (APU). APU's classes start monthly and run in 8-week or 16-week formats, providing lots of flexibility. APU is renowned for its commitment to the military, offering tuition grants that cap undergraduate, master's degree, and graduate certificate tuition at $250/credit hour for U.S. active-duty undergraduates, National Guard, Reserve, and Coast Guard servicemembers.
Lastly, I want to mention Penn State World Campus. They have a strong reputation for their online programs and offer a military support team that helps with the admission process, accessing your benefits, and academic support.
Remember to consider your field of interest and the reputation of the school's program in that field when making your decision. Best of luck with your academic pursuits!
