WVU tailors classes for military veterans p1 - Military - College News and Information - Military Times EDGE
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia University says it's adding classes tailored for military veterans.
WVU says it plans to add art history and public speaking courses for veterans in the fall. The school already offers an orientation course and an introductory English course for vets.
Terry Miller from WVU's Office of Student Affairs says combat makes veterans hypersensitive to their surroundings. As a result, he says they need smaller classes with people who've shared the same experiences.
Provost Michelle Wheatly says a change to state law that takes effect in June encourages classes tailored for veterans.
