麻豆传媒 City University was named to the 2017 Military Friendly庐 School list by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs庐, STEM Jobs SM, and Military Spouse.
First published in 2009, Military Friendly庐 Schools is considered one of the most comprehensive resource for veterans today. Each year, the list of schools is provided to service members and their families, helping them select the best college, university or trade school to receive the education and training needed to pursue a civilian career.
Chuck Flint, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 assistant director of admissions and coordinator of military admissions, said the designation is evidence of the university鈥檚 goal of helping students obtain a first-class education.
鈥淭hose who serve our country with honor deserve a chance at the best educational opportunities available,鈥� Flint said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e happy to help them with their educational needs, and proud that a media voice of these students has recognized our commitment.鈥�
Institutions earning the designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Media鈥檚 proprietary survey. Ratings methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by Victory Media with input from an advisory council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institutions鈥� survey scores with the assessment of their 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.
According to Daniel Nichols, a Navy Reserve veteran and chief product officer at Victory Media, 鈥淥ur ability to apply a clear, consistent standard to the majority of colleges gives veterans a comprehensive view of which schools are striving to provide the best opportunities and conditions for our nation鈥檚 student veterans. Military Friendly庐 helps military families make the best use of the Post-9/11 GI Bill庐 and other federal benefits while allowing us to further our goal of assisting them in finding success in their chosen career fields.鈥�
