Selected institutions completed a survey of over 100 questions, which included criteria such as military support on campus, graduation and employment outcomes, and financial benefits.
“Our ability to apply a clear, consistent standard across thousands of employers and schools gives veterans a comprehensive view of those striving to provide the best opportunities and conditions for our nation’s veterans,” said Daniel Nichols, Chief Product Officer of Victory Media and Head of Military Friendly Development. “Relating data from companies and colleges positions us to further our goal of supporting service members and veterans along their entire path from military service to success in their chosen civilian career field.”
The Columbia University School of General Studies enrolls over 400 veteran students, and represents 95% of the undergraduate student veteran population in the Ivy League. On campus, student veterans have access to veteran-specific advising and a robust network of veteran students and alumni, in addition to the diverse academic and extra-curricular opportunities offered by Columbia University. Student veterans enrich the classroom and campus experience for their peers, and are a critical component of the school’s diverse student body.
