Position Yourself for Success Whether You Stay In or Separate From Service


In DOD Instruction 1322.25 issued in March of 2011, the Department of Defense recognized the role of education in cultivating a career, stating that education is important for service members looking to achieve opportunities for advancement and leadership. Valparaiso University allows you to earn your degree while continuing to serve your country. Select Master’s Degree Programs are offered 100% online. No campus attendance is ever required for these select programs, so your studies never have to interfere with your duty schedule.

  • Uninterrupted Study – Never again will a military assignment or transfer force you to halt your studies.
  • Unmatched Convenience – The video-based e-learning platform is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – anywhere in the world.
  • Exit and Re-Enter the Program – Military personnel with Temporary Duty Assignments may exit and re-enter their programs with no penalties.
