About the VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) Program
The VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) program is a collaborative effort between MiraCosta College and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to help Veterans, Service Members, and their qualified dependents succeed and thrive through a coordinated delivery of on-campus benefits assistance and counseling, leading to completion of their education and preparing them to enter the labor market in viable careers.
