This video is part of University Studies for Student Veterans, a dynamic, online curriculum that offers student veterans proven tools to facilitate their transition to college, and to maximize their success once they’re there. We know that the culture of higher education is different from the culture of the military in meaningful ways, and we also know that one of the keys to excelling in college - especially for student veterans - is learning to navigate these differences successfully, right from the very start.

While this course is open to everyone, the content has been tailored specifically for student veterans currently pursuing higher education, active duty servicemembers who aspire to start school or return to school soon, and higher education professionals who work to support student veterans at their schools. If this sounds like you, and if you’re ready to learn how to make your transition easier and more successful, then we hope you’ll join us.

What you’ll learn:
Foundational academic and study skills for achieving success in college
Strategies for more effective reading, writing, test preparation, and time management
Proven tips for students taking STEM and other technical courses
Metacognition and academic mindset

University Studies for Student Veterans is a collaboration between the Columbia University Center for Veteran Transition and Integration, the School of General Studies of Columbia University, and the Columbia Center for Teaching and Learning.
Columbia University launched the Center for Veteran Transition and Integration to have a direct and lasting impact on the issue of veteran transition and upward mobility by creating and providing access to the best-in-class tools and programming veterans need as they transition from active service to college and the workforce. We welcome the opportunity to assist higher education institutions (both 2-year and 4-year), military installation education services officers and transition assistance programs, veteran focused non-profit organizations, and more. To get started, contact the Columbia University Center for Veteran Transition. https://veterans.columbia.edu/
The School of General Studies of Columbia University is the finest liberal arts college in the United States created specifically for returning and nontraditional students seeking a rigorous, traditional, Ivy League undergraduate degree full or part time. The School of General Studies has been educating military veterans for 70 years. Since World War II, GS has served veterans who interrupted their educations to serve their country. They bring a wealth of life experience to the classroom, and contribute in a unique way to the diversity and cultural richness of the University. https://gs.columbia.edu/
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) partners with faculty, students, and colleagues across the University to support excellence and innovation in teaching and learning. The CTL is committed to advancing the culture of teaching and learning for professional development, curricular enhancement, and academic support through its programs, services, and resources. The CTL understands teaching as a critical practice, driven by inquiry, experimentation, reflection, and collaboration. We promote pedagogy that is inclusive, learner-centered, and research-based. We support the purposeful use of new media and emerging technologies in the classroom and online to foster the success of Columbia’s instructors and students. http://ctl.columbia.edu/
