How Can EDMC Schools Help Your Company?
At EDMC, our school systems all have rich backgrounds and solid reputations within the fields we specialize

“My experience in school has helped me in knowing how to work with a team.
When you work at a studio, you don’t get the chance to do every part of the
process yourself. You need to specialize in a certain area so that you may

Dallas helped me to figure out which part of the 3D process I loved most.”

Attaining a college degree has never been more important than in today’s highly competitive
economy. EDMC institutions are uniquely suited to serve the needs of members of our
nation’s military. The broad array of programs we offer provide active duty service members,
reservists, veterans, military spouses and families the quality, fexibility, and convenience they
seek through courses both on campus and online.
How EDMC Serves Active Duty, Veterans,
Reserves And The National Guard
“With the flexibility to work from your home, duty
station, or overseas assignment, The Art Institute of
Pittsburgh – Online Division’s curricula and program
delivery model were incredible benefits to me as an
active duty service member.”

Active-duty military personnel and veterans transitioning back into the mainstream, whether
from stateside missions or assignments as far away as Iraq or Afghanistan, have many
programs available that allow them ready access to college and career training programs

education costs for them.

veterans and provides schedules and curricula designed specifically for them. For example,

also selected as military friendly schools by G.I. Jobs Magazine. Argosy University was also
named to Veterans Benefits GI BILLcom top 25 military friendly colleges.This list of military
friendly schools honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities, and trade schools doing
the most to embrace America’s veterans as students, and is an important evaluation system
for military veterans to help guide their educational pursuits (full list of schools can be found
at www.gijobs.com).

“Transitioning to civilian life was difficult. I knew I
had to look at college as my job now and that’s what
got me through. Argosy University, Denver allowed
me to attend school 100% online, and I liked that
I could take classes anytime. I made sure I was
proactive in reaching out to my professors and I was
disciplined in getting my work done.”
