What is VMASS?

Washington State University is world-class higher education and research institution that is dedicated to serving those who serve our nation. We welcome all military-affiliated students, as our veterans, active duty, guard/reserve, and military family members, are an integral part of the Cougar community. We are committed to helping them to succeed and achieve their academic and career goals.

WSU provides individualized support to help each student receive the education benefits they are entitled to. We seek to empower our military-affiliated students to take part in community and networking opportunities, including student organizations and veteran-specific physical locations on some WSU campuses. We also offer a wide variety of support services and programs across all six campuses.
