Veteran Student Stats

Military Veterans

We truly appreciate the sacrifice of Military families have made through their military service. Regardless of military status – veteran, reserve, National Guard, or active duty – the University of Mary is ready to serve. At Mary, we provide service members and veterans the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree that will be of benefit with promotion boards, and in future career opportunities as civilians. Whether a student on our main campus, an evening program, or online, Mary's accredited programs recognize that military and veteran students have the discipline, experience and ability to be successful.

Military Spouses

We believe strongly in service and are dedicated to helping active-duty, reserve, and retired members of the military and their families achieve their educational goals. With a Military Student Services office led by a retired brigadier general and staffed by a veteran and military spouse, we understand the challenges of going back to school. From offering evening classes on military installations to granting credit for military experience, we’re here to serve those who serve our nation.
