2nd Annual Top Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities
MAE 2008 Volume: 3 Issue: 6 (November/December)
KMI Media Group and Military Advanced Education are pleased to present the 2008 Top Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities Honorees. These schools were selected by an independent panel of judges from the fi elds of both education and the military. Their selections are based on each institution’s favorable policies toward our men and women in uniform.
We invited over 2000 colleges and universities to participate in this year’s honors. This year’s response exceeded our expectations and is indicative of the attention being paid to our men and women in uniform by America’s institutions of higher learning. Due to the extensive number of returned submissions, the decision was made to double the number of schools that will be honored in 2008 from 30 to 60.
As a further tribute to those schools whose military-friendly policies set the gold standard for this honor, the judges have singled out Military Advanced Education’s 2008 Top 20 Schools for further distinction. We experienced several ties for this honor and, consequently, you will find 22 schools listed in the Top 20 Schools group.
We would like it to be known that all 60 schools selected for the 2008 Honor Roll scored very high or they would not have been selected. In fact, the difference between the Top 20 Schools and the other schools selected is equivalent to the numerical difference between an A+ and an A-, to use an educational analogy. In other words, all 60 schools scored very high or they would not have been selected. All of this year’s honorees have been listed alphabetically.
