Looking Out for Your Future

We offer a range of undergraduate and master’s degree programs focused on high-demand fields such as national defense, technology, engineering and leadership.  Areas of study include cybersecurity, national security studies and criminal justice.   Many of our programs are specifically tailored to support veterans in transitioning into meaningful civilian careers while also fostering opportunities for career advancement within the military.

Financial Resources Lower Costs

°ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ proudly supports our military community by offering in-state tuition rates to all U.S. military students and their dependents, regardless of their state of residence. We participate in a range of federal and state veteran education programs, including:

  • Post-9/11 GI Bill®
  • Montgomery GI Bill®
  • Dependents Educational Assistance
  • New Jersey National Guard Tuition Waiver Program

Additionally, we can recognize the value of military experience. Academic credits may be awarded based on prior military training, the applicability of that training to a chosen program and credit earned through standardized exams.
