Charleston Southern University (CSU) is located near Joint Base Charleston AFB, Joint Base Naval Weapons Station, Naval Nuclear Power Training Command, Naval Nuclear Prototype, and a short drive to U.S. Coast Guard Base Charleston. CSU serves veterans and the military-connected in various ways, such as ensuring that our military students feel safe, seen, and supported to succeed. The CSU Veteran's Lounge is in the middle of our campus and provides veteran students with a place to study, relax, eat, and connect with fellow veteran students. Our Military Services team includes two School Certifying Officials who are on campus to assist veterans and military connected students with their VA educational benefits. Military Services hosts various events throughout the year, including a week-long event to honor Veterans during the week of Veteran's Day. CSU is a Purple-Heart University, and has recently been given the naming gift for a state of the art Veteran's Success Center.
