Overview
eArmyU and its technology have brought Army Education to the forefront
of the e-learning arena. Featuring a large and robust online learning portal, eArmyU
ranks among the most innovative and accessible distance-learning programs ever developed.
Launched in January 2001, this program is among a series of dynamic changes to transform
traditional Army Education by offering unprecedented access, choice, and flexibility
in an online learning environment. eArmyU focuses on the individual Soldier’s success
– one Soldier at a time. Collectively, these dedicated men and women are increasing
their value to the Army while simultaneously achieving their personal educational
goals.
Program Description
eArmyU provides Soldiers access to over one hundred degree plans
at regionally-accredited colleges and universities. Through eArmyU, eligible Soldiers
have the opportunity to earn a certificate or an associate, bachelor’s, or master’s
degree from a home college while taking courses from multiple colleges. Web-based
courses offer unique “anytime, anywhere” flexibility, allowing Soldiers to study
at times that are most convenient for them – even as their responsibilities, schedules,
and duty assignments change.
The eArmyU Laptop Option is no longer available. If the Army is able to reinstate
the eArmyU Laptop enrollment option at some future date, Soldiers will be made aware
of any change through their local Army Education Centers and the GoArmyEd portal.
Currently, eArmyU is available to all Soldiers, but the services Soldiers
receive as part of the eArmyU enrollment vary (as detailed below);
- All Soldiers enrolling in eArmyU classes will have applicable class fees
waived.
- Only those Soldiers, who are in a current eArmyU Technology Package
(Laptop) Participation Agreement at the point of course enrollment, will receive
the bundled services, that is, course materials (books), Internet Service Provider
(ISP) access, and academic tutoring.
- Soldiers, who are not in a current eArmyU Technology Package (Laptop)
Participation Agreement, will not receive the bundled services and must purchase
their own course materials, to include books. These costs will not be covered by
Army Tuition Assistance.

Outstanding Success
More than 32,000 Soldiers have permanently changed duty stations from their original
enrollment sites and now participate in eArmyU from 50 countries, 4 U.S. territories,
and all 50 states. To date, more than 1,900 degrees have been conferred on eArmyU
Soldiers. Moreover, of all Soldiers who have enrolled in the program, 31 percent
have either extended their service or reenlisted to be eligible for the program,
demonstrating how broadly eArmyU is supporting the Army’s vision across the Army
enterprise.
