Why you should attend?

Our university is a consortium school for ROTC. Through partnerships with nearby host institutions, students can participate as cadets in Army, Navy, or Air Force ROTC and commission into the military as officers upon graduation. We are also a proud participant in the VA Yellow Ribbon Program. This program funds tuition and fee expenses that exceed the maximum amount paid by the Post 9/11 GI Bill. The dedicated staff at CUA's Office of Military & Veteran Student Services (OMVSS) coordinates ROTC, manages VA benefits, and facilitates opportunities for all military affiliated students.
