Support for Military Students
For over 50 years, National University has been meeting students where they are at. We offer the programs you need, that align with your interests, and we support our students all the way to graduation and beyond. Other military students like you are already earning degrees in fields like Biology and Psychology and Nursing.
Our top degree programs are designed to align with your career goals, offering flexibility and opportunity in high-demand fields. For example, the Associate of Science in Human Biology provides an excellent pathway into healthcare or science-related fields and the Bachelor’s of Psychology is ideal for roles in counseling, social services, or further graduate studies. For students ready to specialize, the Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis equips you with in-demand skills to support individuals with behavioral challenges, making a real difference in your community. Or if leadership and innovation are your passions, the Doctorate in Organizational Innovation prepares you to drive meaningful change in any industry.
Whether you’re starting your educational journey or looking for that next step, our programs are created to help you achieve your goals while balancing family, work, and school.

The Veteran and Dependent Scholarship Eligibility Requirements
All Veterans that can document service through DD214, DD256, DD257, or NGB22 with a discharge status of Honorable or General Under Honorable Conditions (Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct Discharge, Dishonorable Discharge, Entry-Level Separation do not qualify).

“I graduated this year and had an incredible experience at National University. I am currently an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician (bomb squad) in the Navy and I retire this year. I’m excited to move into the cybersecurity space and continue to help protect people after I move to the next chapter in my life.”
