Best Colleges for Military Spouses?

Hello! My partner is in the military and we move around quite often. I'm planning to start college but I need one supportive of my situation. Does anyone know of colleges that are notably good for military spouses? Thanks!

Absolutely, there are several colleges that are particularly supportive of military spouses. Here are a few to consider:

Western Governors University is renowned for its flexibility and accessibility, making it popular among military families. With programs in business, IT, education, and healthcare, the university offers self-paced, competency-based education, allowing you to progress at a pace that suits your schedule.

Southern New Hampshire University is another option that provides an extensive range of online programs and a unique benefit for military spouses, whereby the institution offers a10% tuition discount for online programs.

American Military University focuses on providing quality, relevant education that's designed to support the unique needs of military members and their families. They offer open enrollment and monthly class starts.

University of Maryland Global Campus also caters specifically to military families with flexible online and hybrid programs, and even has faculty and advisors on U.S. military installations in more than 20 countries.

Liberty University provides over 600 online programs and a supportive community for military spouses. They also offer a Heroes Fund Scholarship, which can potentially cover the entire cost of a degree program.

Remember, when searching for the right school, it might be helpful to look for institutions offering flexibility with online or distance learning options, scholarships for military spouses, and a supportive community for non-traditional students. Be sure to use the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program, it's a great resource that provides up to $4,000 of tuition assistance to eligible military spouses. Best of luck!
