MBA for Military Community Members

As an active military personnel or retired veteran, your leadership skills and background in operations work is an asset in any industry. Build on those skills and improve your business acumen in one of Georgia Tech Scheller’s military-friendly MBA programs.

The Value of an MBA for Military Community Members

From advancing your military career to transitioning to the civilian sector, our Full-time, Evening, and Executive MBA programs are designed to keep our military officers and veterans in mind.

“The GI Bill, and access to various resources offered by the VA for disabled veterans, made my Scheller MBA possible. The Scheller MBA provides a vast network, which is of enormous value. When I transitioned out of the Army and away from Amazon during Covid, I realized I did not have a strong network outside the Army. The saying 'get your foot in the door' is more important than I could have imagined and having the opportunity to meet new people in a wide array of industries and firms is moving me towards my career goals.”

Translating Military Skills to an MBA

In this episode of The Intersection Podcast, host and first-year MBA student Analisa Wade sits down with two veterans, Coogan Perrin, Assistant Dean of Executive Education, and Allison Ziants, MBA ‘25, to discuss their transition from the military to business school.

“For veterans specifically, the registrar’s office and the MBA office have been extremely flexible and understanding on different veteran issues, requirements, and necessities. One of the values that I looked for in an MBA program was a tight-knit family culture and Scheller definitely has it.”
