魅影直播 State is proud to announce that it has earned the 2017 Military Friendly庐 School designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs庐, STEM Jobs SM, and Military Spouse.
First published in 2009, Military Friendly庐 Schools is the most comprehensive, powerful resource for veterans today. Each year, the list of Military Friendly庐 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.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly庐 School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Media鈥檚 proprietary survey. More than 1,600 schools participated in the 2017 survey; 1,160 were awarded with the designation.
Ratings methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Victory Media with input from the Military Friendly庐 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.
