When your service ends,
our service begins

Veterans have access to ALL of the programs that are offered by The Citadel in an environment that understands and appreciates military service. Our goal is to make your transition from service to campus easy with our supportive military atmosphere. We are here to assist those whose lives are connected to the military, as they transition and learn to navigate through the college experience.

“I miss being in the military, and the small veteran population here gives you a sense of camaraderie that I loved and missed from the military. It’s really the camaraderie that people miss when they get out of the military and we have that here. ” Ashley Towers

“I needed an outlet for physical aggression and an inherent need as a Marine to be comfortable in the water. I was invited by Col. Dunne and have not looked back sense. My favorite thing about the underwater rugby club is both the relationships and the camaraderie the club provides.” Benjamin Knight
