Schools and Areas of Study

If you decide to continue your education, what do you need to consider? Perhaps it’s the location of the school you want to attend, either close to home or far, far away. Or maybe you want to focus on a particular area of study and want to look into schools that specialize in what you’re passionate about. Some young adults even take school population into consideration because it can determine classroom sizes and professor availability. Some people don’t know what they want, and that’s 100% OK too!

We’re here to help you explore schools and areas of study a bit more so you can feel confident about your path to success.

Paying for School Through ROTC

Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) provides financial assistance (which can be up to 100% of your tuition) in exchange for a commitment to military service and a commission as an officer in the Military upon graduation. In addition to the financial support, the ROTC is a great pathway to develop leadership and professional skills that easily transfer to the civilian world, providing flexibility for life after a role in the Military.

Popular Areas of Study

While it's popularity doesn't mean it is right for you, looking at areas of study that are drawing the most attention from your peers could give you a place to start your research if you are undecided.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)

Study STEM and you could learn to code, slice a gene or two, or solve some of the world’s biggest scientific problems.

Business and Communication

These two areas are more related than you might think. To start and secure funding for a business, for example, one must also be a strong communicator.

Health and Medicine

Pursuing a career in medicine can be very rewarding — and challenging. If you want to get into medical school, you’ll need a strong academic foundation.
