Georgia Southern Offers Graduate Degrees at Fort Stewart

Georgia Southern has launched a new collaborative effort to help service members stationed at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield pursue advanced higher education degrees. The University is offering four master’s degree programs courtesy of a new partnership with the U.S. Army. Representatives from Georgia Southern and Fort Stewart announced the partnership after signing the official memorandum of understanding this past summer.

The agreement allows military members to earn master’s degrees in business administration, health administration, information technology and professional communication and leadership. Two graduate-level certificates are also being offered — one in cybercrime and one in professional communication and leadership. The courses are being offered on base in face-to-face classes and in shorter terms at the Fort Stewart education center. Dr. Kyle Marrero, president of Georgia Southern University, said the programs are designed to allow soldiers and their families to pursue higher education without disrupting their duties or relocating. This allows them to strike a healthier work-life balance while investing in their personal growth.

This collaborative effort is the latest example of the University’s commitment to the military, which has led to Georgia Southern being named a “Military-Friendly” school for six years in a row and a “Gold School” for 2023-2024 by Viqtory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs, STEM Jobs, and Military Spouse magazine.
