Students in the Military

Finding the time to further your education may seem like a daunting prospect and is made even more difficult for service members who are faced with frequent deployments and relocation. Berkleemusic offers a number of flexible options that will help service members with a demanding military schedule achieve their musical goals.

Courses at Berkleemusic allow you to study with the world-renowned instructors of Berklee College of Music from where ever you are in the world. A typical week of lessons at Berkleemusic takes about 5-8 hours, and you can complete your weekly assignments whenever you have time.

"Sometimes it's good to read a book and talk to someone about what you've read. It's even better when you can talk to the person who wrote the book you're reading," says Staff Sgt. Williams of the United States Marine Corps. "That's one of the great things about Berklee's online program. I can learn from the person who wrote the book, and enjoy the flexibility that I need."

We are affiliated with DANTES, a US Department of Defense organization created to help Service Members continue their education while serving their country.
