Overview

The citizenry of America supports our veterans. On return from the service, many Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are attending college. Some of these veterans encounter difficulties that interfere with their efforts to obtain a degree. Recent examination of this situation indicates that higher education is largely unaware of these problems. This book reviews knowledge that can help college administrators and professors to update practices at their school to properly serve the needs of veterans concerning: financial aid, transfer credits, educational programs, classroom climate, and the health care of veterans. Most of the problems discussed here originate in higher education's lack of knowledge about the unique needs of veterans. America's educators want as many veterans as possible to attend and complete a college education. If American higher education adjusts its practices to be helpful to veterans, veterans will obtain the education that they pursue.
