WELCOME STUDENT VETERANS!

Syracuse university ranks among the nation’s top schools for veterans. You’ll select from among 200 majors and 100 minors within 13 schools and colleges, knowing that no matter what school you choose, you’ll find other students with ties to the armed forces. Transitioning from military life to higher education presents the veteran with a set of challenges that have commonalities among veterans but are also unique for each veteran. The student veterans organization (svo) was created to address veteran needs while going through the higher education experience. The svo saw a need to focus on the veterans needs while in school, enriching the school experience and enhancing overall success for veterans.
