Maximize Your Post-Military Future with Our Online University

The skills you acquired during your time in the military—in tandem with the new skills you’ll learn while completing your degree program—make you especially desirable on the job market. Employers seek candidates with discipline and a strong work ethic, skills most veterans mastered during their time in the service. By adding a college degree to your resume, you’re sure to stand out among the competition when it comes time for a job search.

During active duty service, many service members pick up skills that can be directly translated to a civilian career, such as logistics, office administration or vehicle maintenance. But if you’re not interested in pursuing a career in a field you were exposed to in the military, college is an excellent opportunity to explore a new path. Grantham offers more than 60 exclusively online programs across healthcare, engineering, business, criminal justice and more.

The beauty of going back to school today is the number of options you have to make your educational experience exactly what you want it to be. If you’re unsure about committing to a full degree program or just don’t want to make the time commitment, consider a certificate program. These programs are shorter than typical undergraduate programs (typically 18 credit hours) and can easily be transferred into a more advanced program later down the road. Grantham also offers a variety of programs at the associate, bachelor’s and master’s levels.

As a veteran, the financial burden of higher education is lessened with your GI Bill benefits. These benefits are not available forever, however, so it’s important to take advantage of them before they’re gone. For more information about GI Bill benefits and how to use them, see the GI Bill sections on this page.
