The rankings are based on the results of Military Times’ annual survey — a comprehensive school-by-school assessment of veteran and military student services and rates of academic achievement — as well as a detailed review of public data collected by federal agencies.

“We are honored to once again be recognized by Military Times, as Excelsior has proudly served our military and veteran communities for nearly 50 years,” said Chris Johnson, director of the Center for Military and Veteran Education at Excelsior College.

Best for Vets: Colleges is an editorially independent, objective, and rigorous news project. Hundreds of colleges and universities from across the country were surveyed on their policies related to military and veteran students, academic outcomes, military-supportive cultures, and other factors. Institutions were evaluated in five categories: university culture, student support, academic policies, academic outcomes/quality, and cost and financial aid.

Military Times’ Best for Vets designation is trusted throughout the veteran community as the mark of excellence for schools and other organizations that work with veterans and military families. To see the full rankings, visit Military Times.
