GAINESVILLE, Fla. – UF MBA continues to be one of the best options for veterans looking to further their education with a graduate business degree. U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the UF MBA Online program No. 2 in the United States on its “2021 Best Online MBA Programs for Veterans.”
“Our servicemen and servicewomen have proudly dedicated their lives to making sure ours are safer,” said John Gresley, Assistant Dean and Director of UF MBA. “At UF MBA, we are honored serve them with one of the best online MBA opportunities as they continue on their leadership journey.”
In addition to being ranked one of the best online programs for veterans, UF MBA offers a host of other benefits for current or former military members. In addition to the ability to apply the Post-9/11 GI Bill® to any of our programs and UF MBA’s commitment to accommodating our servicemen and servicewomen with their military obligations through locked fees and enrollment positions, frequent program start options, set program lengths and flexible schedules, UF also has a dedicated Office of Veterans Services to serve as a resource for veterans.
“The UF MBA staff does a top-notch job in taking care of every detail that many professional students may not have the bandwidth to focus on with professional requirements to juggle,” U.S. Army veteran Daniel Faulkner (MBA ’19) said. “I have also benefitted from the network of other veterans and current service members in my cohort. With our mutual backgrounds, we typically connect and understand the challenges one another may face in the private sector.”
