Veteran Services
Stetson University would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your family for your service. We recognize that post-military life can be challenging and if you or your family are looking for a way to invest your hard-earned education benefits, then Stetson University is the community for you.
Our mission at Stetson University is to provide an excellent education in a creative, inspired and engaged community where learning and values meet. This learning with purpose allows students to reach their potential as individuals and live significant lives. Located in beautiful DeLand, Florida, voted number one best downtown in Central Florida. Stetson University offers several academic programs for undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as various programs for Professional and Corporate Education opportunities.
Stetson has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Defense (DoD) in order for service members to receive Tuition Assistance for approved programs. In order to be in compliance with the DoD MOU, we must reflect our full-time tuition rate and the rate per credit hour, though we do not bill the per-credit-hour rate for full-time tuition. Read the summary of tuition and fees. Note: the university reserves the right to adjust the above expenses at the beginning of each term.
