Military Community at Bauer
We appreciate the value and leadership that our veteran students bring to our Master of Science in Accountancy (MSACCY) Program. Military service experience truly enhances the MSACCY classroom, and Bauer’s diverse and welcoming environment is a perfect fit for our veterans who are enhancing their careers or re-entering the civilian workforce.
We are privileged to serve our military members by providing them individualized career counselling and coaching, networking opportunities, support through our graduate financial aid advisor, and assistance with military and veteran education benefits through University Veteran Services.

Post-9/11 GI Bill: Individuals with at least 90 days of aggregate service after September 10, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 continuous days on active duty, are eligible to participate in the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The percentage of eligibility ranges from 40% - 100%. You must also be on Active Duty or a Veteran with an honorable discharge to be eligible.

Non-Resident Tuition Waivers: An additional military waiver available to those eligible for veterans educational benefits is an immediate waiver of non-resident tuition to the veteran, spouse and dependent children who move to Texas.
