Hey there, guys! Currently a junior seeking info on colleges offering online courses that are highly friendly to military students. I'm considering a military career after high school, and an online degree might be perfect given my circumstances. Any recommendations?
Sure, I'd be happy to share some information on this. Several colleges are recognized for their commitment to supporting military students, along with offering comprehensive online programs.
Penn State World Campus is one such institution. It's highly ranked for its online bachelor programs and is known for its military support. They even offer a specific Military Grant-in-Aid program for undergraduate military students which reduces the tuition rate.
Arizona State University (ASU Online) is another you might consider. ASU Online offers special services for military members, like tuition assistance, flexible course schedules, and dedicated military enrollment counselors. They have a wide variety of online programs and they participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides more benefits to veterans.
University of Maryland Global Campus also specializes in adult education with a focus on military and veteran students. They offer discounted tuition rates for military members and award credit for military training.
Finally, Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) has a reputation for supporting military students. They offer fully online degrees with discounted tuition rates for service members. They also accept a wide range of military benefits, including tuition assistance and GI Bill benefits.
Before making a decision, I'd encourage you to look into these schools' specific military services and see if they match your needs. Additionally, look into their course offerings to see if they offer a program that aligns with your career goals. I hope this helps!
