Online college options for military

Hi Folks, with my interest in joining the military, I've been also researching about the possibility of studying online while serving. How feasible is this and what are some good online colleges known to cater to military personnel?

It's definitely feasible and quite common for military personnel to pursue their education online. Many colleges and universities offer great online programs that are flexible, which would work well with unpredictable military schedules.

1. Arizona State University (ASU): ASU Online is known for its military-friendly environment and it offers over200 degree programs. They offer a discounted tuition for active-duty military, spouses, and dependents.

2. Penn State World Campus: Penn State's online arm offers more than 150 degree and certificate programs. They accept military credits and offer a Military Grant-in-Aid program which reduces undergraduate tuition costs.

3. University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC): UMGC specializes in online education for military and veteran students. They accept military training for credit and offer discounted tuition rates for military and veterans.

4. Liberty University Online: Liberty offers more than 250 online degree programs, and they also offer tuition discounts for military personnel. They have a generous transfer policy and will review military training for credit.

5. Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU): SNHU is another good option with over 200 programs and discounted tuition for active-duty military and their spouses.Remember that the best school for you depends on your specific situation and goals. Be sure to consider factors such as the type of degree you want, the transfer of military credits, support for military students, and, of course, cost. Finally, make sure the school is accredited, which ensures that it meets certain standards of quality.
