WKU is a participating Servicemember Opportunity College

We are proud to share our educational solutions with our Service Men and Women. All WKU online and independent learning courses are approved for Servicemembers of the U.S. Armed Forces, Veterans, and other persons eligible under the provisions of the GI Bill. Each student must assume the responsibility for submitting the proper forms to assure payment of appropriate entitlements.
