Columbia Releases a MOOC to Help Veterans Transition to College

For veterans, making the transition from active service to school isn’t always straightforward.

Columbia University has released a free and open course on edX.org to help veterans transition smoothly to college and maximize their success.

“University Studies for Student Veterans” is the title of this 6-week, self-paced course produced by Columbia’s Center for Veteran Transition and Integration.

The course can also be utilized as a library/toolkit resource to academic success strategies, as well as a tool for flipped classroom pedagogy, or a companion text for on-the-ground transition courses.
