Sup folks, I'm thinking of enlisting after high school but I still want to continue my education concurrently. Can anyone recommend online colleges that are military-friendly and provide flexible schedules?
Hey there! That's a smart move – continuing your education while serving can open a lot of doors for you in the long run.
One option you might consider is American Military University (AMU), a fully online institute popular among members of the military. They offer a variety of programs from associate to doctoral degrees and are known for their increased flexibility, which is convenient for those on active duty.
Another suggestion would be the Penn State World Campus. They've been known for their extensive roster of online degrees and certificate programs, and they provide military grants-in-aid for undergraduate programs to help you with tuition costs.
Also worth considering, is Arizona State University (ASU) Online has a dedicated military services team and offers military tuition assistance, which could be really helpful.
Finally, the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) might also be a great choice given they have special military advisors and offer various discounts for military personnel.
Remember to verify accreditation and make sure any institution you consider has earned regional, national, or programmatic accreditation. This will ensure you're receiving a quality education and that your degree will be recognized by employers and other educational institutions should you decide to pursue further education down the road.
Good luck with your military and educational journey!
