Military Personnel

The HSET Distance Learning Program is well suited for military personnel. Courses are delivered via the internet providing students the opportunity to complete courses during the times that are most convenient to them.

"HSET courses are educational and convenient... I can complete them anywhere." George Riley

Another advantage of the program is the flexibility of location. Duty stations can change quite often for military personnel. As long as you have access to the internet, the HSET program moves right along with you, to your new location.

We are a Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC) and participate in the Concurrent Admissions Program (ConAP).  This program allows servicemembers to enroll in college at the same time they are serving in the military.
