The Department of Military and Veterans Studies enables success for current and future veterans primarily though the UMSL Veterans Center. The Veterans Center exists to assist veterans in their transition from military to campus life. It is a one-stop resource center, staffed by student veterans and veteran volunteers, committed to facilitating and coordinating the overall integration of veterans into the UMSL academic community. The UMSL Veterans Center is UMSL Veterans serving UMSL Veterans! Veterans Studies is an emerging, multi-disciplinary academic field devoted to developing a clearer understanding of veterans and the veteran experience. Veteran Studies will provide students a foundational understanding of military structure, culture, combat, and the personal changes resulting from military service. It will challenge students to think more clearly about how veterans fit into society and what obligations, if any, a society holds toward its veteran community. Do I need to be a veteran to take Veterans Studies classes? One of our goals is to provide non-veterans the academic depth to understand and serve with, in or alongside the veteran community. If I am a veteran, should I take Veterans Studies classes? Absolutely! Veterans are encouraged to join Veterans Studies for the same reasons as other students. But also so they can explore new ways to reflect on their own service and experiences. Why should I take a Military and Veterans Studies Course? If you want to better understand the veteran experience as a compliment to your major or just because of your curiosity, then Military and Veterans Studies is a fit for you. What Majors fit well with a Veterans Studies minor? Typical majors include: Psychology, Criminology and Criminal Justice, Social Work, Anthropology, Sociology,Nursing, History, Art, Media Studies, Business, Political Science and English.
