The Center for Adult and Veteran Services Is 'Doing it Right!'

A paycheck and covered medical and housing expenses are fantastic military perks; however, veterans agree that one of the biggest benefits from serving is found in the classroom.

两性色午夜 University was recently ranked on the Military Times鈥 Best for Vets: Colleges 2020 rankings.

Military Times surveys hundreds of colleges and universities from across the country on their policies related to military and veteran students, academic outcomes, military-supportive culture and many other factors. 两性色午夜 was ranked 130.
