Hey guys, I've been checking out options for further education and the 'Tidewater Community College's programs for military personnel' caught my eye. Has anyone attended TCC's military programs? How is the experience, support, and curriculum like?
Hello,
I'm glad to see you're considering continuing your education. While I personally haven't attended Tidewater Community College's programs for military personnel, I've gathered some insights from those who have.
Tidewater Community College (TCC) is known for its comprehensive support system for military personnel. They have a Center for Military and Veterans Education (CMVE) dedicated to serving those connected to the military. The veteran and military student support center is reportedly excellent in providing assistance from the application process to graduation, including help with navigating GI Bill benefits.
Many students have found the college's commitment to helping military students transition to civilian life commendable. They offer career services, which play an integral role in this transition, helping students with job searches, resume writing, interview skills, and more.
In terms of curriculum, TCC offers a range of programs popular among military members such as Cyber Security, Logistics, Professional Communications, Business, and Health Sciences. Most of these courses are flexible - with options for both online and in-person classes, which is a huge plus if you are still balancing commitments to the military.
One area worth researching further is the college's academic quality and how it aligns with your personal and professional goals. An indicator can be the success stories of past graduates, their testimonials, or where they've ended up working or studying after TCC.
However, individual experiences can vary greatly, so it's essential to connect directly with TCC's admissions office or the veterans center. They can provide you with the most current and detailed information about their resources and offerings, and might be able to connect you with current students or alumni who can speak to their personal experiences at TCC.
Good luck with your decision! Your proactive approach to furthering your education is commendable.
