Online Veteran Friendly Colleges

by MilitaryBenefits

Online veteran friendly colleges for active-duty, veterans, military spouses, and dependents. There are over 11,000 higher education institutions to choose from, and finding one that meets your individual needs while offering veteran friendly support can be difficult.  Our list is comprised of online schools that provide education benefits and resources to the military community.

Online Veteran Friendly CollegesIf you’re considering an online college, ensure that you do thorough research on the schools (beyond their homepage). Most colleges provide valuable services to the military community but a small minority of colleges have demonstrated less than reputable business practices that have not had the military community’s best interests in place.  See our Veteran Friendly Colleges Guide for identifying the best college for you.

Note: These online schools are not endorsed by any U.S. government entity including the U.S. Armed Forces or Department of Veteran Affairs. This list is in alphabetical order and not intended to be a ranking.
