FSU is a Military Friendly School!

Earlier this semester, FSU was named a 2013 Military-Friendly School by Victory Media, which is the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life. There are currently 12,000 VA-approved institutions in the United States that can accept GI Bill money of which only 1,700 met the 15% military-friendliness threshold via the voluntary survey. FSU is among this 15%. 

FSU is doing its part to embrace service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus. FSU was noted for key areas, such as the following:

*Support to specific military installations
*Classroom-based programs on military installations
*ROTC program or participation in cross-town ROTC program

*Campus/social networking events planned specifically for veterans

Being in such close proximity to Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield, FSU remains an attractive higher education option for active duty military personnel, veterans, and military spouses. As one of the oldest UNC-system institutions, FSU continues to prove its commitment to learning and literacy. With the influx of personnel and resources via the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), Chancellor Anderson stood up the Center for Defense and Homeland Security (CDHS) to foster education, research and the commercialization of scientific technologies.
