Military Services at the University of Mary
We truly appreciate the sacrifice you and your families have made through your military service. Regardless of your military status – veteran, reserve, National Guard, or active duty – the University of Mary is ready to serve you.
At Mary, we provide service members and veterans the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree that will benefit you with promotion boards (if you are currently serving) and in future career opportunities as civilians. Whether you are a student on our main campus, in an evening program, or online, Mary's accredited programs recognize that military and veteran students have the discipline, experience, and ability to be successful.
Military Families Receive $10K in Scholarships
Veterans, active-duty service members, and their immediate families are eligible for $10,000 in scholarships toward a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or Master of Organizational Leadership (MOL) degree. Offered online or onsite at locations throughout the region, both programs are flexible enough to accommodate work, family, transfers, or deployment. Students must enroll in fall 2026 to be eligible.
The University of Mary is Military-Friendly
Our commitment to service members, veterans, and their families has been recognized by national publications including Military Advanced Education and Military Friendly Schools. At Mary, you will never be treated like a number. We have experienced faculty and staff who will help you be successful.
- Flexible schedules (deployments, field training exercises (FTXs), state active duty)
We offer programs that are adaptable for military students whose assignments and duties require changes in schedule. This means the university can accommodate deployments, tours, training exercises, state active duty, and transfers between duty stations. For example, on-site students can move to the online delivery system upon deployment; online students can work toward their degree anywhere internet access is available. If a deployment causes a student to discontinue a program, they can withdraw without penalty and resume study at a later date. - Credit for previous courses and experience
We can help you transfer credits for academic programs from regionally accredited colleges and universities and earn credit for military training and experience (or life experience). We'll make sure you are on the most direct path to your bachelor’s degree or master’s degree. Contact us today to see how your experience may transfer in for credit at the University of Mary. (Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps service members can access their Joint Services Transcript here, while Air Force service members should contact CCAF.) - Veterans Education Benefits including Yellow Ribbon
Our programs are approved for veteran's education benefits, and we have a dedicated team in the Office of Military Student Services to ensure that you can access the education benefits you have earned
