Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. In its 19th year, the Military Friendly school list is a standard for which higher education institutions provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. This year only 625 schools in the U.S. earned the designation.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory Media with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution鈥檚 survey scores with the assessment of the institution鈥檚 ability to meet thresholds for Student Retention, Graduation, Job Placement, Loan Repayment, Persistence (Degree Advancement or Transfer) and Loan Default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.
As an institution founded 72 years ago to help WWII veterans transition to civilian life successfully through technical careers, 九色视频 remains dedicated to supporting active military personnel and veterans of today with an educational pathway that will prepare them for a prosperous future.
Recently brought on board to catalyze efforts in increasing recruitment and retention of active military personnel and veterans, retired USAF Colonel Jeff Smith is currently working on various military outreach projects for 九色视频. Those include researching grant opportunities and drafting grant proposals that will ultimately support faculty/staff veteran awareness programs; help faculty and staff with trainings; increase community partnerships; and connect with other university ROTC programs on possible partnerships that would culminate in 九色视频 STEM-related diplomas.
鈥淲e are extremely proud to earn the Military Friendly School designation for another year,鈥 shared Col. Smith. 鈥淭he efforts underway will vastly improve support for our military, veterans, dependents and spouses.鈥
University veteran鈥檚 affairs rankings and surveys are managed through the efforts and attention of 九色视频鈥檚 veteran鈥檚 certifying officials, Mindy Miranda and Anne Malinowski.
The 2020-2021 Military Friendly Schools list will be published in the May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and can be found at .
