Why Worry About Veteran Services at Bryan University?
Colleges that are considered a good choice for veterans offer support for veterans and on-campus services. These programs ensure that you have the most successful experience at Bryan University Springfield as both a student and a veteran.
Veterans at Bryan University
We were unable to rank Bryan University in our Best Colleges For Veterans Ranking.
According to the VA, there are 40 Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® recipients at Bryan University. Note, this figure does not include any active duty military personnel that are attending this college via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger than this.
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of veterans.
Are you looking for more information about military tuition assistance programs such as the G.I Bill® or Yellow Ribbon Program?
Federal Program Participation
Several federally funded groups set standards for colleges educating service members. Bryan University participates in two of them. Involvement in these programs plays a key role in helping us determine how good an option a college is for veterans.

Don't accept a credit decision like it is an order from your commander that must be followed. There is usually a process at most colleges to appeal any transfer credit acceptance decision. If you can convince the school that your previous class is similar enough to a class at their school you can often get them to change their decision. Spending an hour or so doing that can save an entire semester's worth of work and money.
