Veterans' Educational Resources

The Center for Military Education support veterans' education with an array of resources and learning tools that few institutions can match.

We've developed these resources over 30 years of working closely with military students. During that time we've gained a deep understanding of the educational challenges confronting veterans—and we've developed solutions to those challenges.

For more information on any of these resources, contact our Veteran Services and Outreach Center at (518) 464-8678 or via e-mail at jreed@excelsior.edu.
