U.S. Military Veterans

“Military veterans bring the qualities we look for to the Goizueta community.”

As an individual with military experience, you have gained valuable skills that you can take with you as you transition into civilian life, including leadership, responsibility, and critical thinking. Add to that the technical, business and managerial skills that come with an MBA, and you will open up a world of career opportunities.

We recognize the value you add to our community and the advantages our program can offer to you. Goizueta's Core Values, world-class leader development, and tight-knit community offer the ideal foundation to assist you in the transition from your military background to achieving your post MBA goals.

Experiential Learning

As a military veteran, you know the importance of putting your skills to the test every day in the field. At Goizueta, our academic approach brings business theory to life through experiential learning. You’ll learn how to navigate complex and often ambiguous situations, and then build strong communication skills as you and your team present your solutions to some of the world’s top faculty and industry leaders.

Values-based Leadership

Goizueta is dedicated to building principled leaders who achieve not only success, but also significance. Our goal is not limited to creating business leaders. Rather, we’re focused on helping students like you become well-rounded, principled leaders who can transform the business world—and society—for the better.

Yellow Ribbon Program

Goizueta is part of the Yellow Ribbon Program, providing a fixed number of awards in each of the School's five MBA formats. The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (aka Chapter 33), and allows voluntary partner institutions to enter into an agreement with the Veteran’s Administration to fund tuition expenses for eligible veterans. For the majority of our programs, this results in a full-tuition benefit. For more information or to apply for a Yellow Ribbon Program award, please visit our Financing Your MBA page.

“Goizueta is a tight-knit community with the same level of trust and camaraderie I was used to in a flying unit. The school not only espouses core values that you’re used to – honor, integrity, and accountability – the school actively teaches and lives them. Goizueta is a leadership school, and what you’ve learned in your time in the service is directly transferable here, and will put you in good stead with employers post-graduation.” – Joe Adamski, 09MBA

“After serving five years in the Army, I decided that it was time for me to do something new. During my research of business schools, I soon discovered that the Goizueta’s mission to create principled leaders for global enterprise was in line with my desire to become a civilian servant leader. The faculty has been invaluable in helping me draw similarities between what I did while I was a Military Police Officer and what I will do upon graduation. Goizueta celebrates the differences in its students and encourages all of us to learn from each other. It has been the perfect environment for me in which to hang up my uniform and explore all the possibilities that my Goizueta MBA offers me.” – Libby Smith, 10MBA

As a promotable First Lieutenant in the Army, I applied to Goizueta during a fifteen-month tour in Iraq. From waiving the application fee to accommodating my special circumstances, Goizueta proved it is truly a military-friendly school. Now, the friendly staff and welcoming student body provide continual support as I complement my military experience with business knowledge. I am confident that my MBA from Goizueta will allow me to compete for the best jobs in any career path I pursue.” – Adam Van Horn, 10MBA
