Military - Find the Right Program For you

University of Hawaii honors military veterans with tuition policy change

November 2014 - The University of Hawai'i is expanding veterans’ access to higher education. The UH Board of Regents recently approved a policy change that grants in-state tuition to all qualifying veterans of the United States Armed Forces. To receive this benefit, veterans must be honorably discharged from the military within 3 years of enrollment and be using their G.I. education benefits. The new policy takes effect in the 2015 spring semester.

If you, or a veteran you know, is interested in a business degree, contact us today!

Your military experience coupled with a graduate degree from the Shidler College of Business will provide you with the competitive advantage necessary for a career in the civilian workforce or for advancement within the armed forces.
