Hey, I could use some help here. I'm thinking about the military lifepath, and since I'm located in Virginia, I'm wondering if there are any colleges on military bases close to me. Any pointers?
Sure, in Virginia, there are several military bases that also have opportunities for higher education on-site.
For instance, many community and technical colleges offer classes at Quantico Marine Base. There are also several universities including George Mason University, Hampton University, Liberty University, and Old Dominion University that have campuses or satellite centers in the immediate vicinity.
Similarly, at the Norfolk Naval Base, there are academic programs offered by Saint Leo University and Tidewater Community College.
Lastly, Fort Eustis, an Army base, has academic programs provided by Central Texas College and Thomas Nelson Community College.
Do note that the accessibility to these education programs could vary depending on your status – active-duty service members, reserve personnel, veterans, and civilian employees at the base or their dependents. So it's best to connect with the educational service offices on base for the most accurate information regarding admission requirements and course offerings.
