UWF was selected as one of the Top 60 Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities from over 2000 invited schools who returned submissions. Honorees were selected by an independent panel of judges from the fields of both education and the military. Selections were based on the institution’s favorable policies toward our men and women in uniform. 2008 Top Military-Friendly College and University Honorees are listed alphabetically (pdf).

The University of West Florida Campus is located in beautiful Pensacola, Florida. Nearby, NAS Pensacola is the cradle of naval aviation and home to the famed Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team. Forty miles east in Ft. Walton Beach are Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field. Florida’s Emerald Coast has always maintained strong ties to the military community and UWF is no exception. UWF makes it easy and affordable for military personnel and their family members to continue their online college programs wherever they are stationed. The UWF out-of-state fee waiver covers the out-of-state portion of assessed tuition and fees for students enrolled in our fully online programs or certificates. This waiver makes tuition and fees only slightly higher than Florida resident tuition even though students may live outside the state. Printable Online Program Flyer.

UWF actively participates in the DANTES Troops-To-Teachers program as well as the new The Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (CAA) Initiative.
