Currently, approximately one-third of CTU students are active military, reservists, National Guard, veterans and their spouses.  Through the CTU Department of Military Education, these students have access to military advisors and specialists, including some of whom are veterans, and can help students transition to academic life.  CTU also participates in the Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program, and has been named a Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs Magazine for four consecutive years.
