I've been exploring options for college lately, and I'm intrigued by the idea of staying enlisted while attending online classes. Are there military approved online colleges that veterans, active duty soldiers, or military dependents often consider? Thanks!
Absolutely, there are many online colleges that are not only approved for military members and dependents, but also offer specialized support and services for these groups. Some of the popular ones include:
1. American Military University (AMU): AMU is widely recognized for being military-friendly, and has been named a 'Top School' in the Military Advanced Education & Transition Guide due to its commitment to providing flexible and affordable education options for servicemembers. They offer a wide variety of bachelor's and master's degree programs.
2. University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC): UMGC is known for its commitment to catering to military students and veterans, and offers a large array of degree programs entirely online. They have a dedicated Office of Military & Veteran Success to assist you in this journey.
3. Liberty University Online: Known for its flexibility, Liberty Online offers over 100 online degree programs and has a dedicated Office of Military Affairs to provide support to military students.
Do reach out to these universities directly to find out about potential military tuition discounts, scholarships, and other services they offer specifically for military students and dependents.
Remember to also check with your Education Services Officer (ESO) to confirm that the courses you plan on taking are approved for tuition assistance.
Lastly, remember to consider factors like accreditation, academic quality, and support services in addition to military-specific benefits when choosing a program. Your education is a significant investment, and it's important to ensure you're getting a high-quality, well-respected degree that will serve you well in your future career.
