Northern Kentucky University announced the launch of a Veteran Leadership minor designed to recognize the experiences gained by military and veteran students during their service.
This program aims to bridge the gap between military training and higher education, allowing military students and veterans to translate their knowledge into academic credit.
The Veteran Leadership minor will give students up to 21 credit hours toward their minor for joint service training hours.
“Our new Veteran Leadership minor not only honors the dedication of our military and veteran students but also recognizes the immense value they bring to our campus community,” said NKU coordinator of veteran student services Rusty Mardis. “It’s an honor to be a part of this initiative, empowering our veterans to leverage their expertise and seamlessly transition into academic success. This minor will save our students time and money in their pursuit of a degree.”
The Veteran Leadership minor will be available for veteran students starting in the fall of 2024.
