SCPS was interested in learning more about needs of service members who would be potential students in a new, military-oriented degree completion program at UVa. Educational Service Officers were interviewed in depth to learn about particular requirements, procedures and student needs for this population. ESO`s also were asked about learning goals and program preferences of military students pursuing college degrees. CSR gathered detailed responses from 8 officers representing all branches of the service. Results were compiled into an internal report which SCPS is using for program development and planning.

Results were reported for the University as a whole, and reports by school were made available to members of the faculty.
