Hi all, I'm joining the military soon, but I'd still love to continue my education on the side. Could anyone recommend some colleges that cater specifically to military members? I.e. with flexible class schedules or remote learning options.
Absolutely, there are a number of reputable colleges that are known for supporting active military members in their pursuit of higher education.- Penn State World Campus is the online branch of Pennsylvania State University and is especially accommodating to military personnel. They offer a wide array of degree programs you can pursue remotely.
- Arizona State University also offers online programs that work well for military members. ASU has a strong reputation and provides a considerable amount of flexibility for non-traditional students.
- University of Maryland Global Campus is another institution to consider. They have an exceptional record for military education, with particular strengths in tech and business related fields, and offer online programs that can accommodate your military duties.
- Excelsior College and Thomas Edison State University specialize in distance education and both are regularly praised for their ongoing support of military students. They grant credit for military training and cater to adult students.- Lastly, Norwich University and Columbia Southern University are private colleges worth looking at. They both provide significant military discounts and have an array of online programs.
Keep in mind it's important to confirm the accreditation status of any college you are considering. This ensures the quality of your education and that your degree will be recognized by employers and other educational institutions. Good luck with your studies!
