Military & Veterans Education Office
Welcome to the Military & Veterans Education Office (MVEO)
We’re committed to helping our military-affiliated students succeed. The Military & Veterans Education Office (MVEO) helps you understand and manage your VA education benefits, ensuring you get the most from the benefits you’ve earned.
Some of our team members are military-affiliated, veterans, spouses, or dependents—so we understand your journey, and will support you every step of the way.
Whether you’re planning your next career move or pursuing a new degree, we're ready to help you reach your goals with timely, personalized service.
After many experiences, and traveling the world, I was extremely excited and ready to come home and pursue a higher education–all while being at no cost because of my service.
