Veterans Education at Tennessee Universities: An Analysis of State Policy and University Actions

Abstract

Collectively, Tennessee, institutions, and students, both veteran and their dependents, strive toward the successful completion of post-secondary education for the public good of the state and the private good of the student. To that end, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) and Tennessee Postsecondary Education Analysis and Research Lab (TN-PEARL) commissioned this capstone project with Vanderbilt University doctoral students to analyze the interplay of existing state policies, institutional programs, and students experience thereof in pursuit of a post-secondary degree.
