Military Spouses and Family Members

"Pursuing a degree at Excelsior College fit with my time because I'm a working mother. It was just more convenient to study at Excelsior College." — Immendelin Pialda

Military spouses and family members have to sacrifice many things. Education shouldn’t be one of them. Thanks to Excelsior College, it doesn't have to be.

Excelsior's award-winning Center for Military Education removes obstacles and solves problems that often keep military spouses and family members from completing a degree. You'll enjoy the same terms of enrollment as Active Duty and Reserve personnel, with time- and money-saving benefits that include:

  • Convenient online and CD-ROM course formats. Complete courses from any location, no matter how many times your family is transferred.
  • Military-friendly transfer policies. Get maximum academic credit for coursework you've completed at other accredited colleges, so you can finish your degree more quickly.
  • Military Tuition Assistance. TA may cover up to 100 percent of your costs, and Excelsior waives enrollment, administration, and graduation fees for military spouses and family members.
  • Accessible, specialized academic support. Excelsior College offers military-only advisors, free tutoring, writing support, and career development services.
