USVM provides the latest, most important veteran news, covering a wide range of topics focused on helping veterans to find education, work, business, and other opportunities.

“While we’re extremely proud of the recognition we’ve received, our main focus continues to be helping servicemembers and their families in every way we can,” said Ed Dennis, Assistant Vice President, Office of Military and Veteran Affairs at Berkeley College. “From providing the flexibility to earn a degree while they’re actively serving, to helping soldiers transition to civilian life, we offer many services and resources dedicated to our military and veteran students.”

“Berkeley’s Criminal Justice program was a perfect follow-up to my ten years in the Marine Corps,” according to Gorje Ruiz, a veteran student. “They also offer many special programs for veterans.”

Alba Ramos, another veteran student, agrees, “Along with an amazing support system for veteran students, Berkeley offers flexible scheduling options that made it easy for me to fit classes into my busy life.”
