Welcome Military Servicemen & Veterans!

Serving Those Who Served

Since World War II, Niagara has welcomed many veterans who came back to school, either to begin or resume their education. In that same welcoming spirit, we welcome you to our campus and thank you for your service. Learn more about the opportunities at NU for military veterans.

We also offer the General Education Mobile (GEM). The GEM program links CCAF students to online regionally accredited civilian academic institutions that offer freshman and sophomore level general education courses.
