New Teaching Locations at Military Installations

September 08, 2008

Saint Leo University is now on base at two additional military installations in the South, offering classes and distance-learning options to members of the armed forces and civilians.

The university opened a new Regional Education Center at Columbus AFB in Columbus, Miss., home to the 14th Flying Training Wing of the U.S. Air Force. The wing equips beginning military pilots. Approximately 3,100 military, civilian, and contractor personnel work on the installation in eastern Mississippi.

In South Carolina, the university opened a smaller teaching location at the U.S. Naval Weapons Air Station Charleston.

Both locations are staffed with local academic advisers.

Saint Leo is a leader in providing higher education options to the military, and continues to expand its already significant presence at or near military bases throughout the South and Mid-Atlantic. During 2008, the university has been celebrating its 35 years of providing higher education to members of the military.
