Military Information
A Guide to Online Education for Military Service Members
If you’re an active service member, a veteran, or a reserve member of any branch of the United States Armed Forces, an online program can help you achieve your educational goals.
In addition, your service to this country qualifies you for military benefits, which include financial assistance plans designed to pay for your tuition and help with any extra educational costs.
How an Online Education Works
An online education is a great way for military service members to pursue a college degree, a training certificate, or continue your education while serving this country.
Online courses follow the same format as traditional on-campus courses, with a professor, textbooks, homework, exams, and even networking with fellow students. The courses are paced to give you time to adjust to school, and also provide a direct connection to program advisors, who are available to assist you throughout your education.
Online programs are usually part of an accelerated curriculum specifically developed to provide a flexible learning environment, while keeping the user engaged in the learning process. These unique properties allow online education programs to fit into the active lives of our military service members.

What is the “accelerated curriculum” that is talked about above?
Hi Bryan,
The accelerated curriculum refers to the number of courses offered and how often they are offered. The program does provide flexible scheduling so you can complete at your own pace. Every program is different so i would encourage you to fill out the form on the page to get in touch with an enrollment advisor. They will be able to go over the program with you in more detail.
Thanks!
