The W.A. Franke College of Business Veteran Student Center (FCB VSC)
Through a very generous gift from FCB and a U.S. Navy veteran alum, the FCB VSC was created and dedicated to the recruitment, transition, retention, and career development of veterans attending The W. A. Franke College of Business. This is the first veteran center of its kind nationally dedicated to a business college.
For those who have served our country, finding a new career as a citizen can be hard. That’s why Franke is the only business college in the nation with its own veteran center. Our FCB Veteran Student Center is dedicated to the recruitment, transition, retention, and career development of veterans who attend our business school, so that their next chapter is as seamless and rewarding as possible. We’re proud to be ranked 10th in the nation in Military Times’ Best for Vets: Business Schools 2016 and we’re even more proud to work closely with service members.
Your NAU experience starts here
The FCB Veteran Student Center provides targeted programs; individual academic and career development assistance; and resource navigation for those veteran students seeking a business credential.
