Military & Veteran Community

Whether you are currently serving or have served, we know you are accustomed to operating in a high-performance environment in a world class organization. We value the leadership skills and perspective you have acquired in the military and know these skills and life experiences set you up for success while enhancing the learning experience for all students, in and out of the classroom.

Mizzou and the Trulaske College of Business are here, as your guides, to ensure you have every opportunity to continue to perform at your highest level as a student. We offer:

Diverse Academic Programs

At the Trulaske College of Business, it is our mission to attract exceptional students and prepare them for success as global citizens, business leaders, scholars, innovators and entrepreneurs. We know that no two students are the same, which is why we aim to offer a variety of degree programs, organizations, experiences and opportunities so each student can choose their own path. Mizzou offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate business degrees, including in-person and online options.
