Trident is a Military-Supportive School

During your military service, you were charged with duties, responsibilities, and leadership. Apply your military education at Trident and kick your education to the next level. We’re not just an affordable online college; we offer high-quality degrees in a manner that is convenient for military students. Trident stands out among military-supportive colleges because of our unwavering commitment to supporting service members and veterans as they pursue higher education.

To provide the best possible experience for military members and their families, Trident has an established Trident Military Affairs Committee (TMAC). The committee meets regularly to discuss trends in the military and best practices in serving military students, as well as to offer feedback that supports Trident’s decision-making when it comes to the military community. We know that no one understands a military member like another military member. As such, the committee is comprised of military advisory board members, in addition to Trident leadership. The military advisory board members are military members who have served our country – just like you!

With Trident's associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs, you can work to build a strong foundation for continued success in the military, in the civilian world, or wherever life may take you.
