Transforming Military Service into Academic Excellence
The CVTI stands as a pioneering initiative at Columbia University, dedicated to helping service members transition successfully from military life to higher education and civilian careers. The center offers a comprehensive six-week University Studies program requiring just 3-4 hours weekly, focusing on essential academic skills including metacognition, active reading, note-taking, technical course study methods, writing proficiency, time management, and understanding campus culture.

The center's programming is strategically designed to break down barriers that transitioning service members face, drawing from fifteen years of experience in veteran education. Through personalized support and innovative teaching methods, CVTI has established itself as a national center of excellence, ensuring veterans maximize their potential in both educational pursuits and workforce integration.
