51ÁÔÆæ Earns 2025-2026 Military Friendly® School Designation
51ÁÔÆæ (51ÁÔÆæ) has earned the 2025-2026 Military Friendly® School designation. Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory 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’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s 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.
“Being designated as a Military Friendly® School is a true reflection of 51ÁÔÆæ’s commitment to those who have served,” said Grace Hanna, 51ÁÔÆæ Financial Aid Advisor and VA Certifying Official. “We take great pride in providing the tools, support, and respect our military-connected students deserve. We’re proud to support them as they work toward their academic and career goals.”
