Thrifty Thinking: Touro College Military Appreciation

Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. President Ronald Reagan began this official celebration of military spouses in 1984. Falling every year on the Friday before Mother's Day, Americans acknowledge the sacrifice of those left behind and responsible for taking care of the home front. 

Touro University Worldwide (TUW), a not-for-profit online university, salutes these heroic individuals and their families by offering them tuition assistance and programs that are adaptable to their lifestyles. Currently TUW is offering active-duty military tuition rates of $250 per credit for BSBA program, $300 per credit for the masters programs, $525 per credit for the doctorate program.

By extending these reduced tuition rates to military spouses and their children, TUW continues to demonstrate its commitment to helping these students. 

Dr. Yoram Neumann, CEO of Touro University Worldwide, says these families should know they have an ally in TUW. “Military students face the challenges of difficult schedules and lack of access to available campuses and the online environment is a perfect fit for their needs. We also offer [courses] which directly serve the needs of many of our active duty military, as well as those transitioning out of the armed forces into civilian life,” according to Dr. Neumann.

TUW helps students to save money and earn an education that is cutting-edge. For example, TUW no longer requires the use of expensive textbooks that become outdated as soon as they are printed and delivered. Instead, TUW uses current, peer-reviewed scholarly papers. Equally important, TUW does not have fees that drive up the cost of tuition, such as the standard technology fee, media fee, parking fee, student services fee, and library fee that many on-campus universities have.
