Penn State World Campus is now a proud partner of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA).
Soldiers, members of the AUSA, and their family members who are interested in exploring higher education can now have access to a Penn State education online through the organization’s Enhance Your Life program.
The program provides the AUSA community with a variety of personal and professional development opportunities through online courses and credentials from colleges and universities across the country.
Many military service members choose to learn online because of the flexibility it provides them in their active-duty and reserve roles.
Members can explore the more than 200 Penn State degrees and certificates available online through Penn State World Campus. Offerings include areas of study in critical fields such as cybersecurity, logistics, engineering, homeland security, and more.
The degree and certificate programs have been designed to be flexible for adult learners like students in the military, who need to balance the demands of military life with their education.
AUSA is a nonprofit educational and professional development association serving the Army. AUSA provides a voice for the Army, supports the soldier, and honors those who have served in order to advance the security of the nation.
Joining forces with the military community
Penn State World Campus aims to be a strong supporter of the military community.
The partnership with AUSA is the latest effort to continue expanding access to higher education to military learners through online learning.
