Charleston Southern University has earned the 2025-2026 Military Friendly® School designation, Silver Award. CSU was also named a 2025-2026 Military Spouse Friendly®School.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard.

The 2025-2026 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May and October issue of G.I.Jobs magazine and found at www.militaryfriendly.com.

Charleston Southern currently has 547 military connected students using military benefits—which includes active duty, veterans, and dependents.

CSU President B. Keith Faulkner, a U.S. Navy veteran, said, “CSU values our current students and alumni who have served our country, and we are proud to be listed as a Military Friendly School.”

Charleston Southern has served veteran students for more than 50 years. CSU’s U.S. Air Force ROTC Detachment 772 has graduated military leaders since the 1970s.
