Veterans

You've given America your service; now Bay State College is ready to serve you. While we hope to answer most of your questions here, please take a look at this page's links and resources for additional guidance.

Whether you are a new or returning student, we can assist you and eligible dependents as you begin or continue your education. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment for veterans and service members who are entering college, while transitioning the skills they gained from military training and combat experience to their classroom studies.

The Top 5 Reasons Veterans choose Bay State College

1. Bay State College is an approved program for the Post 9/11 GI Bill, which offers veterans access to tuition benefits that significantly offset the cost of continuing their college education.
2. We participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides additional assistance to cover tuition and fees that are not already covered by the Post–9/11 GI Bill.
3. Our staff is trained and dedicated to ensuring that veteran students receive the support services they need to be successful in their degree program.
4. Lower student-teacher ratios and lower class sizes provide better academic environments for teachers and students.
5. Student Success Coordinators are available to guide you through any challenges you may have during your time here.
