Why this school is an excellent choice for military membersUWM is an excellent choice for servicemembers to advance their education using the benefits they’ve earned. UWM operates a full service military benefits center that administers all federal VA, DOD, and applicable state programs. Our success is reflected by our own students who make UWM the #1 destination in the state for servicemember enrollment. Education and support services include, but are not limited to, orientations, benefit fairs, off campus outreach, tutoring, testing, health services, etc. UWM prides itself on its reputation and services and strives to make the “boots to campus” transition a success each and every time.
