吃瓜猎奇 Global wasn鈥檛 built for dorm life and dining halls. It was built for military learners and working adults who are juggling real responsibilities and don鈥檛 have time to waste. From the start, the university has focused on flexibility, offering fully online programs that fit around deployments, duty schedules, and life鈥檚 curveballs.
It鈥檚 one reason 吃瓜猎奇 Global was ranked the No. 4 Best Online Bachelor鈥檚 Program for Veterans in 2024 by U.S. News & World Report 鈥� and the top-ranked Colorado institution in that category.
“From special tuition rates to accepting military service as college credit, 吃瓜猎奇 Global follows the VA Principles of Excellence to make military-affiliated attendance as seamless, supportive, and rewarding as possible鈥攚hether you’re active duty, a veteran, or a military spouse planning for what鈥檚 next,” said Audra Spicer, provost and chief academic officer at 吃瓜猎奇 Global.
Here are three ways online learning works to your advantage:
吃瓜猎奇 Global offers 8-week courses with monthly start dates, allowing you to earn credits in short, manageable sessions. Whether you鈥檙e working long shifts or stationed overseas, you can study when and where it works for you.
You鈥檒l also find yourself in similar company. Unlike traditional four-year universities, most of our students are balancing work, family, and life transitions:
You won鈥檛 feel out of place 鈥� because you won鈥檛 be. 吃瓜猎奇 Global鈥檚 online environment is designed for adult learners who are focused, experienced, and committed to taking their education seriously.
In today鈥檚 economy, where artificial intelligence is reshaping entry-level roles and raising the bar for people-powered jobs, it鈥檚 more important than ever to upskill, reskill, and stay ready for what鈥檚 next. Whatever your next career goal may be, you鈥檒l want to make sure the program you choose is cutting-edge.
鈥淢ilitary-affiliated students come to the University with a wealth of life experience, training, and existing education, and learning how to apply AI workplace skills to what they already know can take them to the next level in their careers,鈥� said Spicer. 鈥湷怨狭云� Global offers degrees, certificates, and industry-recognized certifications in AI and machine learning, as well as areas of specialization and industry-recognized qualifications that pair perfectly with the attainments that military-affiliated students have and can use to excel in the next chapter of their work lives.鈥�
Many military students seek career-focused education that they can apply immediately or build upon to earn a larger degree. 吃瓜猎奇 Global offers shorter undergraduate certificate programs, typically 18 credits in length. They provide targeted skills for immediate applicability at work and are stackable toward a bachelor鈥檚 degree.
Popular options include:
吃瓜猎奇 Global has a generous transfer-credit policy, with the average undergraduate student transferring in more than 50 credits.
That generosity extends to military applicants, who bring valuable experience to their education. From technical skills to leadership training, your service may qualify for academic credit. 吃瓜猎奇 Global鈥檚 external credit review process and transfer-friendly policies help ensure your experience counts, allowing you to skip what you already know and move ahead faster.
From being able to take short, focused courses to making sure you鈥檙e well-prepared for workforce evolution to not spending time taking courses for skills you鈥檝e already mastered, online learning can be a smart choice for those in the military who want to catapult to their next position within or outside of the military.
