Top school for veteran and military-connected students

Creating a welcoming and supportive environment for our veteran, military and dependent students by helping them be successful inside the classroom and beyond has long been an ASU objective. That’s why ASU has repeatedly been recognized by Military Times as a top school for veterans and military-connected students for both our on-campus and online programs.

Criteria used by Military Times to determine its Best for Vets list include university culture, academic outcomes and quality, student support, academic policies, and cost and financial aid.

PTVC events

The Pat Tillman Veterans Center hosts various events throughout the year to keep our community connected to the university and each other. These events are a great way to meet fellow students or get support from PTVC staff, and many events have options to allow both online and in-person students to attend.
