MSU has long been recognized as one of the nation鈥檚 most veteran-friendly universities. 聽Including dependents, the veteran community at MSU now comprises more than 3,100 students. These students are served by MSU鈥檚 G.V. 鈥淪onny鈥 Montgomery Center for America鈥檚 Veterans at Nusz Hall and a network of specially trained university personnel. Montgomery, the center鈥檚 namesake, was an MSU alumnus, World War II veteran and authored the Montgomery G.I. Bill as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Veterans and current military members can transfer technical credits earned through the military toward a bachelor鈥檚 degree through MSU鈥檚 Bachelor of Applied Science program.
In 2016, MSU completed construction of Nusz Hall, a 7,500 square-foot campus facility that features administrative offices, meeting areas, study rooms, a computer lab, and indoor and outdoor spaces for social and recreational activities.
