Veterans

“Empire State College has been extremely helpful in the transition, both from the combat zone and from my two- year school. Always understanding and always professional, this college is a great option for veterans who want to further their understanding of the world.”

– Ryan Smithson, veteran, U.S. Army Reserve. Smithson, who has written a memoir of his experience in Iraq and works for the American Red Cross, is pursuing his bachelor’s degree in cultural studies.
