Our History with the Military
Penn Foster's relationship with our country's military is extensive and significant. Beginning over 90 years ago, Penn Foster donated its curricula to the U.S. Marine Corps to help launch the Marine Corps Institute (MCI). Still in operation today, MCI facilitates the training and education of individual Marines through online learning.
Today, Penn Foster provides the Army Corps of Engineers with apprenticeship training at numerous military installations throughout the U.S.
Penn Foster maintains a strong military-friendly position by offering accelerated online programs, specialized military services, and providing education and training benefits for military personnel and their families.
