Military Education Benefits at CalSouthern
CalSouthern’s military education benefits extend far beyond tuition assistance. Of course, we offer TA, in addition to an Active-Duty Service Member Program that ensures that active-duty service men and women incur no out-of-pocket tuition costs.
But that’s just the beginning.
At CalSouthern, our military education benefits start well before you enroll at the university. We provide education coordinators who travel to bases around the country to help you make the best and most informed decisions possible regarding your education. Our enrollment advisors will walk you through the enrollment process step-by-step, from answering your questions about CalSouthern’s degree programs to helping you with the paperwork. You’ll never be pressured and you’ll always be assured of a straight answer.
The academic administration in the schools of business, psychology, and law are constantly updating and refining CalSouthern’s degree programs, to make sure your military education benefits are aligned with the current markets, industry trends, and the always-changing needs of the military.
A military-friendly university, CalSouthern’s associate, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral courses are all offered 100-percent online, with monthly course starts and flexible scheduling—giving you the ability to manage your own academic progress, which is a must if you are or become deployed. We make it easy to transfer in credits from other accredited schools, and will help you earn the maximum number of credits for previous military training and experience. You won’t have to take any entrance exams either, and we’ll waive all application and credit evaluation fees for military personnel.
CalSouthern is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council, which is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency and is a recognized member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. We’re a DANTES-affiliated institution (DANTES is a Department of Defense organization created to help service members pursue their educational goals through non-traditional education). In addition to military tuition assistance, CalSouthern is also authorized to accept military education benefits such as those offered by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Military Spouse Career Advancement Account Program (MyCAA).
By far, however, the most significant military education benefit offered by CalSouthern is the community of support you’ll benefit from the moment you enroll. Your professors, deans, advisors, and the entire CalSouthern staff—even the university president—stand ready to help you meet any challenge you might encounter as you work toward your degree. We judge our performance solely by your satisfaction and success.
Whether you’re looking to pursue a military career or eventually transition into the civilian sector, we urge you to contact CalSouthern to learn more about our military education benefits. One of our military education coordinators, Anthony Alvarado—a former Marine—says it best: “If you’re an enlisted member in the military, with a college degree you can eventually become a commissioned officer,” he says. “And so many of the key qualities employers look are those that the military instills in you: courage, leadership, and the ability to perform under stress. If you back that up with a quality degree like what you’ll earn at CalSouthern, I believe you can establish yourself quickly in the business world.”
