About the AHE Interactive Map
The Attaining Higher Education Interactive Map is a companion resource to the Attaining Higher Education (AHE) Online Course. The aim of the course is to provide active duty service members and veterans a path toward higher education. This interactive map can help users select and then narrow the colleges and universities of interest. Using a variety of criteria, including important information specific to service members and veterans, and informed by their participation in the AHE online course, veterans will be able to search, filter, and identify colleges and universities that are potential matches for their higher education goals.
Please note the data found on the map was provided by each participating institution and is believed to be accurate and reliable. Columbia University Center for Veteran Transition and Integration provides no warranty expressed or implied regarding accuracy, adequacy, completeness, legality, reliability or usefulness of any information.
Two- and four-year colleges and universities interested in having their information on the map, should contact the Center for Veteran Transition and Integration at cvti@columbia.edu.
