Syracuse University - Whitman School of Management

Military/Veteran Programs

For over 50 years, Syracuse University has been committed to providing education to our nation's military during and after their service to our country. As the functional demands of active-duty service men and women change and those transitioning out of the military seek educational opportunities to prepare them for the marketplace, the Whitman School of Management prides itself in providing the most comprehensive education specifically designed to facilitate growth.

At Whitman, there is a support structure and culture that is encompassed with service, experience, and commitment. Within Whitman, there are over 80 years of combined military service which includes retired Majors, Captains, and a Colonel. As part of the Yellow Ribbon Program, our degree programs, in many cases, are fully funded for veterans. On campus, there is a veteran’s resource center, the student veterans club, and many other resources that are all part of the SALUTE program at Syracuse University.

Syracuse University remains committed to supporting those that are serving and have served our country. The Veteran’s Resource Center was established to provide transitional services to those affiliated with the military as they pursue education. In addition, Syracuse has on hand a Veteran’s Advisor, who is dedicated to assisting with the administration of military tuition benefits and other items as it relates to the time spent on campus.
