Active-Duty Military Services

Welcome

With several Veteran staff and faculty members, there is no private, liberal arts, top-tier university in the U.S. more connected and understanding of the wants and needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.

Methodist University offers affordable, in-person and 100% online degrees to active duty service members and veterans, their spouses, and their children. Our generous transfer credit policy for military education and training, a suite of career-focused programs, and a dedication to flexibility make it easy to get started and stay committed to earning your degree, even if you get deployed.

Announcements

ArmyIgnitED

The first step to beginning your education journey is to stop by the Liberty Education and Training Center (LTEC) and speak with an Army counselor. They will assist you in identifying your education goal, opportunities, as well as assist you in establishing your ArmyIgnitED account. The LTEC hosts an ArmyIgnitED Lab on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in F Wing (Room F116) to assist Soldiers with account issues.

To request Tuition Assistance, Soldiers must first create an account by visiting the upgraded ArmyIgnitED website, armyignited.army.mil, and click on “Login.” This will register your CAC to ArmyIgnitED. Second, soldiers must create an Education Goal (major) in ArmyIgnitED and get it approved by an Army education counselor before they can request TA. Lastly, soldiers must upload their Evaluated Degree Plan (EDP) to the portal. The Fort Liberty Office staff will prepare EDPs and will forward plans to soldiers prior to completing six credits at the University. We suggest service members submit all required official transcripts to include your Joint Service or Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcripts as soon as possible so that we can complete you transfer credit evaluation. Once this evaluation is completed, we can prepare EDPs as needed. Transfer credits are awarded for military education and training.

Attached is a Soldier Tip Sheet: Upgraded ArmyIgnitED System for your use/information.
