Utica University was founded in 1946 to offer options for college study to veterans returning from the second world war. More than seventy years later, this tradition of serving veterans is still held in high regard here at Utica, and we are proud to welcome veterans as students and as valued members of our faculty and professional staff. Utica is a Yellow Ribbon participant, has both undergraduate and graduate programs, has excellent online programs and ensures academic & financial flexibility for veterans. We also give a 10% tuition discount for online students and spouses of Active Duty, Reserve, and Guard members, and have a full-time veterans support staff on campus. Utica encourages veterans to explore employment opportunities at Utica University.
