GI Bill Program

Degree Programs

Sessions College (formerly Sessions Online Schools of Art and Design) is authorized by the Department of Veterans Affairs to certify students enrolled in its Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) degree programs under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay a student's tuition based upon the highest in-state tuition charged by a public educational institution in the state where the school is located. Since Sessions College is located in Tempe, Arizona, the Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay 100% of the tuition for eligible degree program students.

Certificate Programs

Sessions College is also authorized by the Department of Veterans Affairs to certify certificate program students. The following certificate programs are approved for GI Bill benefits: Graphic Design, Web Design, Multimedia Arts, Digital Arts, and Marketing Design, Game Art, and Fine Arts.
