Mission Statement
To engage in research, education, outreach, and advocacy to improve the lives of veterans, and better position these skilled, experienced and well-trained veterans for continued service that further advances American values, prosperity, and security.
Education
Students will take a series of core courses together as they pursue degrees in their respective individual majors. The National Service Academy will thereby prepare its graduates for a continuum of national service utilizing veterans’ unique experiences, knowledge and skills for complex operations and leadership, and demonstrated commitment to service. The academy will provide its students with opportunities for personal and professional development, including service learning and employment counseling and placement assistance.
