The Office of Military Affairs serves all military-affiliated students, including those who have served in the military and their families. You are considered military-affiliated whether you are using VA educational benefits, such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill, or not.
About a third of our total military-affiliated population is made up of military spouses. Many of our students fall into more than one category of military affiliation; for example, some of our students are both military spouses and military members or veterans.
For students in Onslow County and the Jacksonville area, the Office of Military Affairs has an office in the Base Education Center at New River Air Station, where you can connect with Camden Ege, our Military Liaison and Program Coordinator.
As a military-affiliated student at UNCW, you are always welcome to use the resources available in the Military Affairs Wing in Veterans Hall 1029 (think free snacks and coffee, a microwave and refrigerator, plus comfy places to spread out and do homework).
You'll also be part of the Military-affiliated Student Listserv, a weekly email newsletter that keeps you up-to-date on military community events, both on campus and off; scholarship opportunities, many of which are designated specifically for military spouses; internship and job listings; and UNCW support services.
Military spouses who are interested in online programs at UNCW may choose from undergraduate degrees that are totally online, as well as online master's degrees or graduate certificates and licensure programs.
