Veterans Affairs

The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) is very proud to be the only public Service Members Opportunity College (S.O.C.) in the Nation's Capital. Our commitment to support our military is well-aligned with our mission to develop and support public service leaders - as the nation's only urban land-grant university.

Whether you are continuing your education or just getting started; currently serving on active duty; a reservist; a national guardsman; a veteran or a family member; we have the programs to help you complete your personal mission of achieving your education goals.

Announcements:

A new episode of UDC Forum about academic programs for students-veterans through the Community College coming soon. This program will air starting July 1. We will have this episode available on youtube as well.
