Global Military Learning Network (GMLN) connects service members and veterans to accredited colleges and universities who are proud to serve the military community.
Once you’ve found a program you are interested in, the next step is to apply!
Step 1: Create a StarID
Register for a Minnesota State StarID if you do not already have one. If you have attended an institution that is a member of Minnesota State, you already have a StarID and can skip this step. Learn more about your StarID or reset your password at StarID Self Service.
Step 2: Complete the Online Admissions Application
Once you have selected a bridge program, begin the application process for the institution offering the program. The partner institution will be listed on the military bridge page, and on the corresponding degree plan document.
Below are the colleges and universities currently offering military bridge programs through GMLN:
