MBA Veterans | MSU Broad College of Business

We take pride in our veterans and value their contributions to the program’s fabric.

The Broad Full-Time MBA program can help you apply your military experience to a civilian career, maximizing your investment in yourself and preparing you for future challenges. We encourage you to reach out to some of our current students sharing why they chose Broad to make the leap from the military to the civilian business world.

Financial Benefits

Application Fee Waiver

In recognition of your service, the Broad program will gladly waive your application fee. Before you submit your application, contact the Full-Time MBA admissions office for instructions on the application fee waiver.

GI Bill® Benefits

Veterans eligible for Ch. 33 entitlements should review this MBA Ch. 33 Guide before matriculating at Broad to ensure you properly receive your benefits. Navigating the GI Bill® benefits process can be confusing. Please feel free to contact one of our current students for help with this process.

Contact a Veteran

As a military veteran interested in pursuing an MBA, we understand that there are many factors that influence your decision of whether and where to attend business school. One critical factor in your search is fit within a program’s culture. There are few better ways to evaluate that fit than by talking with a current student. Please reach out to any of our vets listed below with any questions you may have regarding the Broad MBA program. All our vets were recently in your shoes and would be glad to discuss your options and their experiences at Broad. They can also match you with another student veteran representing your branch of service or experiences. Once you matriculate at Michigan State, you will also be added to the Broad Military Alumni Network. This is a terrific resource for networking with fellow Spartans who share your experiences as you begin your internship search.
